Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre is the newest professional theatre company in Victoria, British Columbia. We operate a summer season of three plays in June, July, and August on a mandate of providing fresh classics from the past while utilizing a connection between established artists from across Canada and young and emerging artists in all areas of theatre.

Established in 2008, we felt there was a gap in the Victoria theatre community for professional productions of great works of the past. Taking advantage of the beautiful and historic McPherson Playhouse in downtown Victoria, our first season in 2009 presented three plays to more than 10,000 spectators and since then our numbers have been steadily growing.

Working closely with the University of Victoria and other local institutions, we have been able to provide opportunities to students and young professionals to get their first professional experience right here in BC. To date we have created these opportunities for more than 45 artists in on- and off-stage capacities.

Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre was recently named one of Douglas Magazine’s “10 Businesses to Watch” for 2011 and has garnered accolades for Best Professional Production for each of its first three seasons.

Our pattern of productions has included a great comedy from the likes of Shakespeare, Orton, and Coward, a great drama from heavyweights Miller, Williams, and Albee, and lively classic musicals from The Fantasticks to Hank Williams – the show he never gave.

Our current season of plays includes George Bernard Shaw’s Arms & the Man, John Steinbeck’s Of Mice & Men, and Little Shop of Horrors.
