Indiana Repertory Theatre’s Mission
Rooted in the heart of Indiana, Indiana Repertory Theatre is committed to building a vital, vibrant and informed community through the transformational power of live theatre. The Indiana Repertory Theatre produces inclusive, top-quality, professional theatre and community programming to engage, surprise, challenge and entertain members of the whole community.
Vision
The Indiana Repertory Theatre will welcome the whole community, becoming a place of belonging for an ever-expanding audience of all ages and backgrounds seeking meaningful and enjoyable experiences. Using theatre as a springboard for both personal reflection and community discussion, our productions and programs will inspire our neighbors to learn about themselves and others. As the largest non-profit theatre in the state of Indiana, IRT’s goal is to help make Indiana a dynamic home of cultural expression, economic vitality, and a diverse and engaged citizenry.
Who We Are
Staff & Artistic Partners
Board of Directors
Welcome to our 53rd Season!
As we open the curtain on our 2025–2026 Season, we marvel at the power of theatre to gather us once again, to quicken our hearts, and to remind us of our shared humanity. Each season is a journey—and this one invites us to laugh, to sing, to wrestle with history, and to glimpse the extraordinary within the everyday.
To our longtime audiences, who have walked with us through many seasons: thank you for your steadfast belief in the power of live theatre. To those new to the IRT: welcome—we are so glad you’ve joined us, and we hope you will find meaning and pleasure in your time with us.
To our extraordinary Board of Directors and Community Ambassadors, whose devotion connects this work to every corner of our city and state: we celebrate you, and we are humbled by your commitment. And to our remarkable donors—individuals, corporations, and philanthropic partners—your generosity fuels this work and ensures that these stories can be told with artistry, excellence, and heart. We could not do this without you.
This season, may you laugh, cry, reflect, and rejoice with us. May the stories on our stage remind you of the stories within your own life, and may we continue to build a more connected, compassionate community—together.
