Jean Cocteau Repertory has produced the masterworks of world dramatic literature, old and new, since 1971. Now in its 32nd season of rotating repertory, it nurtures a permanent resident acting company and reaches out to a diverse audience.
The company is named after French author and filmmaker Jean Cocteau (pictured, right) who worked in nearly every artistic medium but is best known for the novel Les Enfants Terrible (1929), the play The Infernal Machine (1934), and the film Beauty and the Beast (1945).
