A New Generation of Theatre

          Bethesda Repertory was born from a belief in the sacred, transformative power of theatre. Named after the Angel of the Waters fountain in New York’s Central Park, immortalized in Angels in America, we carry forward a legacy of healing, truth, and revelation.

We create because we’ve been changed by live storytelling, gutted by its honesty, revived by its beauty, and awakened by its call to action. At our core, we believe theatre can do more than entertain; it can provoke, illuminate, and mend.

Our mission is to give voice to those too often unheard and center stories from the LGBTQ+ community, people of every race, every body, every background. We are committed to unearthing the stories that lie beneath shame, stigma, and silence, especially around mental health and collective trauma. 

Bethesda Repertory is not just making art; we are building a bold, inclusive, and compassionate movement, one story at a time by holding space for audiences to witness, reflect, and heal.
