The Orange Coast College Theatre Department Proudly Presents:

The OCC Repertory Theatre Company 

(THE REP!)

 

 

What is The Rep?

Starting in 1985, theatre professors Bill Purkiss, Alex Golson and Rick Golson and the OCC theatre department created a revolutionary new class providing students with a theatre company of their own. Since then the very busy student members of The Rep (THEA A131-134) and of the Directing Class (THEA A181-182) have created a full season of plays, incl​​​uding many critically-acclaimed original works every year.

Many Rep alumni have gone on to found their own theatre companies, to become published playwrights, or to run or work in professional theatre companies from California to Broadway, as well as in film and in television.

We believe the hands-on training a dedicated Rep member receives in their time with us is a vitally important part of a comprehensive theatre training program. 

​

The Rep right now:

Today our Rep students direct, act, write, design and do all the many tasks required to create a full season of theatre productions under the faculty supervision of professors Tom Bruno and Cynthia Corley. 

 

For the academic year 2021-2022, OCC theatre classes (except for lectures) are back on campus!

Our fall semester theatre performances will be not be open to the general public, but will be recorded.

 

We will be posting the recordings of our fall shows here, and hope to invite you to enjoy our live performances in the Drama Lab and Drama Lab Studio in 2022.
