The Rep presents six shows — musicals, comedies and dramas, contemporary and classic — on the Browning Mainstage of the Loretto-Hilton Center in Webster Groves. It's a big house but feels as intimate as a big living room, with no seat more than 20 rows from the unique thrust stage, so you're always close to the action. As St. Louis audiences have discovered for the past four decades, it's great theatre in a great theatre.
