The Training Program at SRT

Build on your experience!

Summer Repertory Theatre (SRT) is a complete and extensive practicum in all aspects of stage production. The program combines the talents of the professional directing, design and production staff with outstanding students in acting, design, technical theatre, dance, music and management. The ensemble will mount five productions, which are performed in full rotating Repertory six days a week beginning in mid June.

Company members face the challenge of putting theory to the test and learning to work continuously under pressure in a professional system. SRT, located in the heart of the Sonoma County wine country, one hour north of San Francisco and forty-five minutes east of the beautiful Northern California coast is a well organized program. We offer high professional production values, and a positive and supportive work environment. The company also has the advantage of making contact with and working alongside professional staff members and other students from theatres and colleges throughout the country.

Since 1971, SRT has enrolled over 6000 students who have received advanced training important to their professional goals. These students have gone on to employment with major schools, in the television and movie industry, and in theatres across the nation as teachers, actors, designers, technical directors, costumers, box office managers, theatre managers and directors. SRT is committed to helping our students further their careers once they leave SRT. Events to facilitate this will include auditions with area casting directors, portfolio review with visiting professionals, and targeted apprenticeships for our skilled artisans/technicians. SRT alumni have recently been employed with:

SRT is a truly dynamic and unique program; it is a fantastic training ground, a great place to meet people and make connections, and home of some of the best theatre in the North Bay. As mentioned before, SRT is an intensive training institute: all students should be prepared to work from 9am to 11pm six days per week.
