Founded in 2010, Santa Monica Rep has produced over 40 play readings, productions, and special events, including co-presenting the SHINE Storytelling Salon, where hundreds of storytellers have shared their personal triumphs and tribulations. Community is at the heart of our work: Santa Monica Rep has served thousands of community members through our free Staged Readings at the Santa Monica Public Library, and over two thousand public-school students through our SM Rep Reads collaborations with The Broad Stage.

Santa Monica Rep utilizes the unique capabilities of theater to contribute to a more connected, compassionate, and engaged community.

We are a dynamic, ensemble-driven company creating high quality, professional theater that is both meaningful and entertaining; we celebrate the creative process, and are building a financially sustainable artistic home for our members.
