Canberra REPAbout Canberra REP
Since 1932
One of Australia's oldest theatre companies
Canberra Repertory Society — Canberra REP — has been staging plays in Canberra since 1932, making it one of the oldest continuously operating theatre companies in Australia. Across that history the company has staged more than 550 productions.
Not-for-profit
A community company, not a business
Canberra REP is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee and a registered charity with the ACNC. It's endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient for its cultural activities, which is why donations over $2 are tax deductible. Its entire program — mainstage productions, REP Studio, front of house — runs on volunteers, which is also why volunteering and membership matter to it in a way they wouldn't to a commercial venue: they're the company's workforce and its base of ongoing support, not an add-on.
The venue
Theatre 3
The company performs at Theatre 3, 3 Repertory Lane, Acton — a 188-seat venue with three spaces available for hire: the Main Auditorium, the Foyer & Bar, and the Ryan Room.
