Yale Repertory Theatre

Yale Repertory Theatre is a professional theatre company located in a converted Gothic revival church building with 478 seats near Yale's downtown campus in New Haven. The venue houses all necessary production and performance facilities within its walls.

The company was founded in 1966 by Robert Brustein and emerged from partnerships between professional theatre artists and Yale Drama School students. This collaboration between professionals and students became central to how the institution operates.

The theatre presents contemporary works and classic plays throughout the year, ranging from Shakespeare to experimental pieces. This mix of established works and new creations shapes what audiences experience during each visit.

The theatre offers student discounts and accessible seating for visitors with various needs. Its location near restaurants and shops makes it convenient to spend time in the area before or after a performance.

The Binger Center within the theatre has developed over 60 new plays and musicals since 2008. This focus on new work sets the company apart from many other theatre groups in the region.
