2017 | 2018 Season

Unforgettable characters. Extraordinary stories. Since 1947.


A Christmas Story, 2014

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, 2014

Honoring our 70 year history as San Luis Obispo Little Theatre while building our future as San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre, a professional, nonprofit, regional theatre. Repertory (re-pə(r)-ˌtȯr-ē) 1. a company that performs different plays in the course of a season 2. a theatre in which such a company performs 3. the production and presentation of plays by a repertory company

Bye Bye Birdie, 2016

The Drowsy Chaperone, 2016


A New Name for Live Theatre This organization was created in the summer of 1947 by a small group of people who wanted to “put on a show.” These 10-15 theatre-lovers, swept up in the last wave of the larger Little Theatre movement across the country, recognized the need for an organized drama troupe in San Luis Obispo. Late in 1947, they decided on the name San Luis Obispo Little Theatre and began rehearsal for their first production – Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit – which opened at the San Luis Obispo High School Auditorium in early 1948. Since that first show, the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre has produced a full season of plays each year, every year, in 27 different locations around the county. We have had an incredible history as a nonprofit community theatre: 70 years, over 900 plays, hundreds of board members, thousands of volunteers. Now it is time for us to officially become the premier live theatre in San Luis Obispo, and continue the growth we have experienced for the last 5, the last 30, the last 70 years. It is time for us to become the only nonprofit, professional, regional theatre in San Luis Obispo County. Welcome to the San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre. This natural evolution to a professional theatre accurately reflects our mission and our current place in the local and national arts scene. Nothing enhances and energizes a city like having a successful, professional, nationallyrecognized regional theatre in its downtown core. We look forward to bringing professional live theatre to the Central Coast and to becoming an important part of the national theatre conversation. We are so proud of our history, and thrilled about the future. Thank you, as always, for your support.

Becca and Howie Corbett have everything a family could want, until a life-shattering accident turns their world upside down and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. Rabbit Hole charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and for a path that will lead them back into the light of day. “A transcendent and deeply affecting new play, which shifts perfectly from hilarity to grief.”  —Entertainment Weekly

Their clash of styles and wills drives this funny, acerbic and touching play through the bumpy terrain of fatherhood and baseball.”  —Playbill

A Little Princess Adapted for Young Performers

January 12–28, 2018 Thu, Fri, Sat @ 7 pm / Sat & Sun @ 2 pm Young Sara Crewe would rather stay with her dear father in India than leave for Miss Minchin’s boarding school in grim, bustling London, but her father insists she receive an English education. Using her books and her imagination, she is able to quickly win friends and make the best of things. But when her fate takes a disastrous turn, will her vibrant inner life be enough to sustain her through tragedy and hardship? In this heartfelt, faithful adaptation of the beloved novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, one girl’s goodwill and courage show what being a princess truly means.

Adapted by June Walker Rogers from Sara Crewe by Frances Hodgson Burnett Show Sponsors Barbara-Jo Osborne Wilda Rosene

“It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.”  –Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

Max Bialystock, the one­time king of Broadway producers hungry to strike it rich, and Leo Bloom, an accountant, discover that they could get richer by producing a flop than a hit. They start by finding the worst show, worst director and worst actors. When their new production, Springtime for Hitler, turns out to be a smash success, the result is hilarious, musical chaos!

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! Packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a cast of four), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good oldfashioned romance! “Theatre at its finest!… Absurdly enjoyable! This gleefully theatrical riff on Hitchcock’s film is fast and frothy, performed by a cast of four that seems like a cast of thousands.”  —The New York Times

May 4-20, 2018 Wed–Sun @ 7 pm / Sat & Sun @ 2 pm This award-winning memory play by America’s great comic playwright is set in Yonkers in 1942. Ne’er-do-well Eddie deposits his two young sons on his stern mother’s doorstep when he takes to the road as a salesman. The boys are left to contend with Grandma Kurnitz, their sweet Aunt Bella (and her secret romance) and with their Uncle Louie, a small-time hoodlum, in a strange new world called Yonkers. “Laughter and tears have come together in a new emotional truth. There are moments in this play when you experience a new kind of laughter for Simon, a silent laughter that doesn’t explode into a yuk but implodes straight into your heart.”  —Newsweek

“…a hidden gem—in fact, a jewel box of gems… a series of plays that are as unusual as the series title.” – Marvin Sosna, in the Tribune

Taking Sides

New Jerusalem

By Ronald Harwood

By David Ives

August 11–12, 2017

February 2–3, 2018

“Harwood’s fierce moral debate is set in the American zone of occupied Berlin in 1946. The play acts as a powerful metaphor for the present and all those postauthoritarian societies busy ransacking their pasts.”  – The Guardian

Circle Mirror Transformation By Annie Baker

September 22–23, 2017 “The kind of unheralded gem that sends people into the streets babbling and bright-eyed with the desire to spread the word.“  – NY Times

20  slorep.org

“Theocracy versus universalist science, a Reformation-era prequel to the Scopes trial, Inherit the Wind with a chilling extra touch of proto-Nazism…Comic imagery renders the ideas tangible without coarsening them… we learn enough to sense both the urgent bigness of Ives’ subject and the power with which he’s captured it.”  – Village voice

The Other Place By Sharr White

March 16–17, 2018 “Sudden flares of uncontrolled feeling appear like lightning flashes from a sky that was clear just moments before…Gradually our faith in this seemingly most reliable of narrators is undermined by deftly disclosed pieces of information.”  – NY Times

Life X 3 By Yasmina Reza Translated by Christopher Hampton

April 20–21, 2018 “Minimally, millennially chic…swift, sharply phrased, poised and awash with uncertainty.”  – Observer “[An] extraordinary play…The writing is brisk, brittle, funny and lethally accurate.”  –Sunday times

About Ubu’s Other Shoe Our staged reading series is named after the infamous trilogy of plays written by Alfred Jarry that were banned from the stage after riots erupted on opening night. Ubu’s Other Shoe pays homage to the spirit of Jarry and to all artists who strive to explore the fringes of their art. This exciting series offers actors, directors and audience members an opportunity to experience incredible plays that do not necessarily fit into our regular season. Thank you for taking this journey with us.

The How and the Why By Sarah Treem

May 25–26, 2018 “A moving portrait of a woman meeting with equanimity an unexpected, often painful series of questions about the choices she made in the past.”  – NY Times
