Audacious. Raw. Electrifying.
Rep Underground is The Rep’s new second-stage performance series, a home for daring artists and stories that thrive just outside the mainstage spotlight. Designed as a space for thoughtful risk-taking, Rep Underground centers intimate work that challenges expectations, amplifies new voices, and invites audiences into closer conversation with the art.
Rep Underground exists to give artists room to explore, audiences the choice to lean in, and The Rep the freedom to expand what our theatre can be, one bold story at a time.

Written and Directed by Jerry Casper
Rebecca is bold, brash, and incapable of keeping her darkest stories to herself. Stacy is quiet, sheltered, and captivated by Rebecca’s fearless honesty. When Rebecca tries to “help” Stacy at work, their lives spiral into chaos: a borrowed car, a boss in a coma, a missing husband, and a string of accusations neither saw coming. What begins as meddling turns into a darkly comic unraveling, forcing two wounded women to confront their pasts, and each other.

A suburban family struggles to hold themselves together as mental illness threatens to tear them apart.

Mildred and Fidel (Staged Reading – Part of Our Emerging Voices Initiative)
Performing April 9-11, 2027

Lonely and unapologetically bored, Mildred calls 911, not for an emergency, but for company. Instead, she gets two deeply flawed EMTs who are far more in need of saving than she is. What begins as an awkward house call spirals into a sharp, darkly funny exploration of ageism, identity, and the choices that shape our lives in this wickedly warm comedy about connection in the most unexpected places.
Stop Kiss
Performing May 27-30, 2027
All Tickets $20
By Diana Son
Directed by Amanda Jade
Two women meet and form an unexpected friendship that slowly turns into something more. Told out of order, their story builds toward a single moment that changes both of their lives forever in this intimate play of love, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to be seen.
