Savvy metro-Detroiters have known for many years about the first-rate productions of classic and modern masterpieces at Wayne State’s Hilberry Theatre. The rotating repertory style of presenting seven plays in an eight-month season has established the Hilberry as a cultural institution
in the heart of Detroit, attracting some 40,000 annually. The company also performs high school matinees for nearly 10,000 students each year.

“The new season is one with massive appeal to the Greater Detroit area and will help fulfill our mission of educating and entertaining in the heart of Detroit,” says Blair Anderson, chair, Department of Theatre.

The Hilberry is the nation’s longest running graduate repertory company. Students from across the country come to Detroit to participate in its rigorous audition process. Only about 50 of the most promising theatre artists are accepted each year.
