Venues

Founded in 1966, The Rep has been based in the Loretto-Hilton Center for the Performing Arts, a multipurpose theater building in Webster Groves, in the heart of Webster University. The Loretto-Hilton Center is shared with the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, as well as Webster University's Conservatory of Theatre & Dance.

In 2005, The Rep began a new performance series, the "Off-Ramp performance series", with performances at The Grandel Theatre in Grand Center.

In early 2007, The Rep considered moving from the Loretto-Hilton Center to an alternate venue. [ [http://stlouis.bizjournals.com/stlouis/stories/2007/03/05/story3.html?jst=s_cn_hl Repertory Theatre may draw curtain on Webster campus - St. Louis Business Journal: ] ]
