Rep Set

“HOW WE ULTIMATELY pick a show is part research, part networking, part timing, and part happenstance. Every single piece of our new season found its spot in the puzzle in a different way,” says Emily Comisar, the executive artistic director for Oklahoma City Repertory Theater, a nonprofit live-theater production company based in Oklahoma City. Comisar, who took the helm in 2024, is a Columbia University-educated playwright and producer. The new season is produced in partnership with Oklahoma Contemporary. Because part of OKC Rep’s mission is to create an accessible live-theater experience, tickets are offered at multiple price points, including a handful at a “pay what you choose” rate. On deck for the 2025–2026 season:
