San Diego Repertory Theatre
- San Diego Repertory Theatre
The San Diego Repertory Theatre was developed out of Indian Magique, a street theater group of extraordinarily talented actors/writers/directors/producers who were fellow theatre graduates from USIU. Founded initially in 1975 by Sam Woodhouse, Christopher R, John Lee and others, they met in the loft of the old Spreckels Building in San Diego, California. The troupe initially performed their original "Hot Dogs On Parade" for high school assemblies in the greater San Diego area, mentored the respective high school theatre students and performed on the week-end at their theatre.
In 1976, Sam Woodhouse and Douglas Jacobs, established the Rep in its first home, the Sixth Avenue Playhouse where the company put on 19 San Diego premieres and 12 West Coast premieres of such plays as "American Buffalo", "Curse of the Starving Class", and "K2". The company's world premieres included "Gold!", a project developed by the company (which included Whoopi Goldberg).
In 1986, the San Diego Rep moved to the new Lyceum Theatre in Horton Plaza, where the company assumed the duty of Resident Manager of the Lyceum complex, which provides services to other arts and community organizations. In a single year, 350-400 performances are presented in the theaters, with an annual attendance of over 150,000 people. Of these events, two-thirds are co-productions between the Rep and more than 40 community organizations.
