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!

Award-winning theatre in the Wellesley Community
WRT productions over the years have been lauded by critics and audiences alike. The company has been recognized on multiple occasions with the Moss Hart Award for Theatrical Excellence.
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.
