Repertory Company High School for Theatre Arts is NYC's premiere multidisciplinary Theatre Arts high school. Our students study ALL areas of theatre arts (acting, musicianship, choral singing, dance, playwriting, management and technical theatre). We believe that our students benefit from a comprehensive education in all components of theatre and their intersections. Along with a rigorous academic program, our students leave after four years as complete artists and students.
