About this user
Sonnet Repertory Theatre, Inc., is dedicated to classic theatre for the modern planet. SRT promotes classic plays and adaptations, providing forums for collaboration between emerging artists and established professionals. With Classics in the Classroom, SRT aims not only to entertain, but also to educate young people by engaging them with timeless literature through expressive theatre.
Who we are, how it happened and where were headed now
Sonnet Repertory Theatre was founded in 2002 by Robyne Parrish and Katrina Thomas Kent, fellow graduates of the School of Drama at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts (www.uncsa.edu). Fellow UNCSA alumni Ben Cherry, Monica Francisco, and Sean Kent formed SRTs original core acting ensemble.
Since then, SRT has produced eight consecutive seasons of classic works and several specialty series including The Bards Backyard, ShakesBARE, The Collaborative Series, and Plays in Progress, a forum for new work based on classic themes. SRT has grown into a state-supported, not-for-profit theatre company, incorporating and sustaining artists and creators from very diverse backgrounds and styles.
In June of 2007, SRT welcomed Todd Loyd and Tiffany Little Canfield as its new Co-Artistic Directors, and the company continues to evolve. At its core, SRT remains supremely dedicated to classic theatre and continues the pursuit of excellence on the stage.
