Southern Rep Camps Present RENT: THE SCHOOL EDITION & WILLY WONKA

Southern Rep enters its 25th season as the region's premiere professional theatre, continuing to produce bold world and regional premieres under the leadership of Artistic Director, Aimée Hayes and Managing Director, Marieke Gaboury. In addition to Southern Rep's ongoing commitment to new play development with exciting programs like 6X6, PlayLab, and DEBAUCHERY, a host of evocative main stage shows are arriving for this important Southern Rep anniversary. This fall starts with the underlying animalisms of seemingly civilized parents in GOD OF CARNAGE, followed by the trials of an ambitious artist in RED, while spring brings a fresh production of the American and New Orleanian classic, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. Southern Rep offers educational programs such as free student matinees, $10 student rush tickets and Academy SRT; as well as providing an artistic home to new works in development in the annual New Play Bacchanal.
