2023/24 Season
Encore: A Festival of Staged Readings
Artists Repertory Theatre is coming home! Each night, join us for one of the decades with ART Encore: A Festival of Staged Readings, launching at 1515 SW Morrison! The journey begins with a Replay: An 80s Flashback, a trip through ART’s origin story with some of the founding artists. We then journey through each of the subsequent decades starting with the gripping Keely & Du (1994/95 Season), Speech & Debate (2008/09 Season), and Skeleton Crew (2018/19 Season). Each night promises surprises and celebration. Come re-experience the heart of ART in these dramatic replays—don’t miss this chance to be part of our theatrical legacy! Each performance is approximately 90 minutes long.
