Birmingham Repertory Theatre is located on Centenary Square, Birmingham. Commonly known as the Rep, the theatre has been one of the longest-established building-based theatre companies in the UK. The Rep was originally established in 1907 by theatre director Barry Jackson, and founded its first home on Station Street in 1913. The construction of the building took just four months, operating both day and night, and became the first purpose-built repertory theatre in the world. Despite experiencing financial losses in its early decades, the theatre’s reputation attracted serious talent, including Laurence Olivier, Cedric Hardwicke and Edith Evans.The Rep transferred over to their Broad Street venue in 1971 and enjoyed many years of success there. The construction of The Studio the following year saw some of Britain’s greatest artistic talent make use of it, including Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench and Derek Jacobi.The Rep presents a diverse programme of works, and is especially well known for its musicals. Some of the biggest world premieres have started there, recently including The Snowman (which has had international acclaim), and Nativity! The Musical.Opening Times:Phone Lines - 12pm till 6pm Monday to SaturdayCounter - 1pm till 6pm Monday to SaturdayIf we have an evening performance our box office will be open until 15 minutes after the start of performance and phone lines will close 1 hour prior to the performance start time.We are closed on Sundays and Bank Holidays unless we have a performance.Box Office Contact Details:ticketservices@birmingham-rep.co.uk0121 236 4455
