Escape the ordinary and experience the magic at The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis

Upon entering the lobby of The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis, you’re not just attending a performance—you’re immersing yourself in a transformative experience designed to transport you, even if only for a few hours.

Each production at The Rep promises an extraordinary evening, with an atmosphere meticulously crafted to draw you into the narrative of the show. The experience initiates as you step into the reimagined lobby, envisioned by company manager Michael Ward, renowned for his remarkable winter wonderland displays during The Rep’s holiday productions.

For the inaugural performance of the season, Dial M for Murder, the lobby dazzled alongside the set, echoing the elegance and charm of a stylish 1950s London apartment. The ceiling sparkled with an array of Edison bulbs and lights, while intricate floral arrangements featuring vintage rotary phones embellished the surroundings, thus creating an environment that swept guests into the storyline.

The entrance music, “Music to be Murdered By,” served as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock and included vintage radio snippets that he might have hosted. Every element was finely tuned to prepare attendees for a night of suspense and excitement before the show even commenced.

For those interested in a unique drink experience, The Rep’s custom themed cocktails provide a delightful mix of innovation and taste. During the performance, guests might enjoy a Dial M for Manhattan or a Hitchcocktail, skillfully crafted to complement the evening’s atmosphere.

As the doors swing open and patrons enter the theater, they are instantly enveloped by an ambiance that this treasured St. Louis arts landmark seems to conjure effortlessly. “In this fast-paced world, my attention span feels constantly fractured by endless distractions,” says Angel Azzarra, The Rep’s marketing director. “Yet, when I find myself in the theater, it’s astonishing how quickly I can concentrate on the performance. Distractions fade away, allowing me to lose myself completely. That’s the goal at The Rep: to create a world, a holistic experience to which you can escape.”

The Rep is not simply a venue for entertainment—it’s a space where artistry evokes thought, emotion, and the exhilarating thrill of live performances.
