Today is our 92nd birthday!!! On April 16th, 1933, our Founder, Fred S. Emmett wrote to six different individuals about his dream for a “little theatre” right here in Toledo. That following Sunday, on April 23rd, 1933, the seven met and the Repertoire Little Theatre was born! While we don't have many photographs to share from that time, we did manage to find some pictures from The Rep's 100th production celebration! This production of “Years Ago” was performed on our very own 10th St. Stage, running May 6th through 16th, 1949! In these photographs, you'll be able to recognize some very familiar areas in our theatre, and you'll even be able to spot Fred Emmett giving a speech to the very eager crowd of theater goers! If you would like to help us celebrate our 92nd birthday, consider ordering your tickets for our upcoming production of Witness for the Prosecution, which opens Friday on April 25th, 2025! Tickets and more information for that production are available at toledorep.org or by calling the box office at 419-243-9277!

Do you have any historical photographs or stories that you would like to share with us here at The Rep? Please message us on Facebook or Instagram, or contact the box office to get in touch with our local Historian! We would love to see what you have to share with us!!

Our Story

The Toledo Repertoire Theatre was established on June 8, 1933. Our first production was Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House”, performed at Collingwood Presbyterian Church in what is now the Old West End. With that first production, The Rep became Toledo’s first community theatre. The Rep moved into its current location at 16 10th Street in 1934 after the building was renovated.

The 10th Street stage was originally a church belonging to the First Alliance Congregation; it was constructed in 1916. When the church’s membership grew too large, the building was sold to the founding members of The Rep in 1933. In the lobby of The Rep is a beautiful stained glass window that was saved after the first renovation of The Rep (between 1933 & 1934) and was part of the original church.

The Toledo Repertoire Theatre, Toledo’s longest operating community theatre, offers a wide variety of live theatre programming, including classic plays, comedies, dramas, musicals, three spring/summer Young Rep productions for ages 7-19, special events, readings and Toledo’s holiday favorite, “A Christmas Carol”. Our education branch provides educational and theatrical opportunities for both young and old alike! With Young Rep acting, singing, dancing, and technical design classes, workshops, and camps for ages 7-17; and adult acting and technical classes for those ages 18 and older, The Rep has something for everyone!

The Toledo Repertoire Theatre is a vibrant and vital performing arts organization in our area and continues to be a cornerstone of Toledo's artistic traditions. The Rep has a tradition of excellence spanning 87 years, making it 'Toledo's Community Theatre'!
