Why Support The Rep?

The vitality of a city is determined by its cultural resources. The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, like other fine institutions in St. Louis, strives for excellence. And, like all other nonprofit organizations, The Rep depends on support from the community to achieve this excellence.

Since its inception in 1966, The Rep’s name has become synonymous with artistic excellence, not only within the St. Louis community and Missouri, but also across the United States as well. The Rep’s commitment to producing high quality productions is evidenced in the fabulous sets and costumes and imaginative interpretations of great plays and through the development of new work and commitment to arts education.

However, what you may not know is that ticket sales cover only 65% of the cost of The Rep’s production, education and operating costs. From becoming a member of Rep Backers, to attending one of our fabulous Galas or events, to making a tribute gift in the name of someone who enjoys live theatre, you can help us bridge this gap.

Your reasons for giving to The Rep may be just as varied as how you would like to make your donation. That is why we offer a variety of ways to support The Rep's productions and programs.

Donors may choose to become a member of Rep Backers, designate a tribute or memorial gift, make a one-time special gift or leave a legacy for the future by including The Rep in an estate plan.

Whatever way you choose to give, we value the extra step you're taking to ensure the theatrical vision of The Rep, now and for future generations of theatre-lovers.
