The Capital Repertory Theatre (theRep) outgrew its original downtown Albany location where it was based for 30 years. To expand its offerings and better serve the community, theRep purchased a historic building in Livingston Square in downtown Albany. In need of significant renovations, the new location resolves the theatre's existing parking challenge and consolidates the theatre's operations and storage needs, which were previously in two separate locations. The new space will allow theRep to expand its programming with up to 100 more annual events, potentially attracting an additional 10,000 patrons.

Upon completion, the theatre will feature a 300-seat main stage, a 70-seat black box theatre, a full-service café, and a box office, along with administrative offices, rehearsal rooms, community event space, and dedicated costume prop shops.

This project will spur economic growth in the City of Albany and will allow the theatre to truly be a community asset and a 21st century arts center.
