About This Project
For 18 years, the Resident Ensemble Players (REP) has brought artists and audiences together for world-class professional theatre on the campus of the University of Delaware. Our productions spark imagination, empathy and connection – bringing great works of literature and contemporary stories to life for students, families and community members alike.
What makes the REP special is the artistry of the entire company behind every performance. Our resident designers and artisans shape the world you see onstage, and our resident actors bring those worlds to life – working in collaboration with award-winning guest actors, designers and directors from across the industry. The result is theatre that feels both deeply rooted in our community and connected to the wider professional world.
Ticket sales cover only a portion of what it takes to produce professional theatre. Philanthropic support makes the difference between what is possible and what is truly extraordinary. Your gift helps ensure that live theatre remains vibrant, accessible and inspiring – on campus and beyond.
How your support makes a difference!
Your gift fuels every part of what the REP does! When you give, you help:
- Create stunning sets, costumes and technical effects.
- Bring guest artists – actors, designers and directors – to collaborate with our resident company.
- Introduce students and young people to the power of live theatre.
- Keep ticket prices affordable for all.
Your support is more than a donation, it’s an investment in creativity, storytelling and shared human experience. Together, we can ensure professional theatre continues to thrive on the University of Delaware campus for generations to come.
