The SoHo Repertory Theater (uppercase H), now also known as Soho Rep (lowercase h), is a 74-seat theater company in New York City. Since 2000, the company has been awarded nine Obie Awards, four Drama Desk Award nominations, and an Oppenheimer Award. The SoHo Repertory Theater was founded in July 1975 by Jerry Engelbach, a native New Yorker, and Marlene Swartz, originally from Dallas, Texas. As co-artistic directors they produced over a hundred plays until Engelbach left in 1989. Swartz then partnered with English director Julian Webber, until she herself left several years later. Swartz is credited as co-director of the long-running Blue Man Group show, which received an early experimental performance at Soho Rep. Early on, Soho Rep''s audience saw performances by many rising young actors, including Kevin Spacey, Kathleen Turner, Jonathan Frakes, Ed O''Neill, David Strathairn, and Karen Young, as well as scores of later successful lighting designers, set designers, and costume designers.
