Capital Repertory

In the 1960's, when the not-for-profit arts scene was initiated with support from the federal government, the world of theatre was a different place than today. New York City was truly THE theatrical center of the country. A few select cities were lucky enough to be stopping points for a Broadway show's national tour, but there were literally no professional resident theatres outside the Big Apple's Great White Way. In fact, the Actors' Equity Association had very little means of working with theatrical groups outside of New York, except for summer stock or touring venues.
