San Jose Repertory Theatre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The San Jose Repertory Theatre (or San Jose Rep, or, locally, just Rep) was founded in 1980 as the first resident professional theatre company in San Jose, California, USA. Artistic Director Timothy Near's vision of reaching the ethnically diverse San Jose population was highlighted by opening the newly built new permanent home of the Rep with the West Coast premiere of Thunder Knocking on the Door by African American playwright Keith Glover, with a Rep-commissioned score by Michael Butler and local blues legend Chris Cain.
Like many organizations concerned by the humanitarian needs posed by the recent Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, the Rep has announced a benefit performance February 14, 2005, with some of the proceeds going to victims of the disaster.
