San Diego Repertory Theatre was born of a street theatre group called Indian Magique in 1976. The company was founded by Sam Woodhouse and Douglas Jacobs and had its first home in the Sixth Avenue Playhouse. In 1986, the REP moved to the new Lyceum Theatres in Horton Plaza, marking the beginning of a unique partnership with the City of San Diego. The REP took on the role of Resident Manager of the Lyceum complex, providing year-round services to other arts and community organizations.

In the past 30+ seasons, the REP has produced a multitude of world premieres. Several plays have had their Spanish language world premieres as part of the REP's Teatro Sin Fronteras initiative.

In 1996, Artistic Director Sam Woodhouse founded the Calafia Initiative – a long-term commitment to provoking unlikely partnerships that lead to new works of performance that speak to the past and future of San Diego's binational region.

The REP has established a reputation for creating innovative productions of the classics. Recent revivals include Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice and KING LEAR, Goldoni’s Mirandolina, and Clare Booth Luce's The Women, directed by Anne Bogart.

The mission of the San Diego Repertory Theatre is to produce intimate, exotic, provocative theatre and to promote a more inclusive community through vivid works that nourish progressive political and social values and celebrate the multiple voices of our region. San Diego Repertory Theatre feeds the curious soul.
