Susan Gregg and Young Rube

During The Rep's 1993–1994 season, a crew from KETC-TV Channel 9 spent several weeks at the theatre, filming the process of bringing a season to life.

The resulting documentary, The Rep Backstage, was broadcast in 1994.

The segment in the video below follows the development of the new musical Young Rube, directed by Susan Gregg.
