Production Support

Production Partners select a particular play from the Yale Rep season and contribute to that show’s production budget. As important members of the show’s family, Production Partners are invited to select rehearsals, opening night performances, and cast parties.

If you’re enthusiastic about a particular play in the Yale Rep season, this is your opportunity to become an integral part of the production and to see your gift come alive on the Yale Rep stage.
