Professional theatre in residence at Wellesley College.
Our Mission
Wellesley Repertory Theatre is an award-winning, year-round professional theatre company, in residence since 1998 on the Wellesley College campus. Founded as a summer theatre by Nora Hussey - a formidable storyteller and community-builder recognized for her lifetime of achievement on both a local and national level - Wellesley Rep productions have been lauded by critics and cherished by audiences for two decades and onwards!
Wellesley Repertory Theatre and Wellesley College Theatre to present 2025 WRT Festival:

WRT announces 2024-25 Grant Recipients:
Wellesley Repertory Theatre is thrilled to announce the first recipients of the Wellesley Repertory Theatre Grant. The WRT grant provides project-based support to Wellesley College graduates for the development and/or production of unpublished/unproduced work in the field. Our three recipients will convene at Wellesley College in Fall 2025 to share their vision and experience with students, faculty, staff, and Wellesley community members at the Wellesley Repertory Theatre Festival.
A student & grad-driven Wellesley Repertory Theatre
Our diverse assets - indeed, our repertory! - are the very folks our mission exists to support: Wellesley graduates working in theatre! WRT seeks to build a bridge between curricular inquiry and professional opportunity for our majors, makers and grads.
