Yale Repertory Theater

The Yale Repertory Theatre brings performing art to the campus of Yale University. Plays that are performed are original works, as well as reinterpretations of old classics. The theater has brought more than 100 premieres to the stage. Two of the plays have won the Pulitzer Prize and four have been nominated and made it to the finals. Nearly a dozen productions from the Yale Rep have gone on to be performed on Broadway and many others have been presented in theaters all over the country. More than 40 productions have been nominated for Tony Awards and eight have won. The theater has also won the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre. The theater offers educational opportunities including their annual Will Power! Initiative. Discounted tickets are sold for the chosen production and early matinees are offered for middle and high school students. Educators also receive free professional development, guides for study follow-up and post-performance discussion time. The Yale Rep accepts scripts sent in by unknown playwrights. They accept full-length plays, musicals, translations and adaptations. Work is accepted from established agents or by sending a letter of inquiry prior to submitting the script. The Literary Office then reviews the scripts and determines whether the play will be performed.
