ABOUT TEXREPWe are a non-profit organization that provides professional quality live theatre at the Stillwell Theatre on the Texarkana College campus. Also, we collaborate with the Texarkana College Department of Drama on two of the four shows we have per season. TexRep showcases local talent by holding auditions open to the community for each show and is fortunate to have worked with a growing number of local theatre enthusiasts over the years! Our famous Annual Summer Drama Camp, held in June, is designed to give young people the opportunity to appreciate theatre arts, prepare for any future public speaking/performing endeavors, and bond with others by learning certain skills and techniques related to putting on a show. We also prepare campers for life by emphasizing team building, responsibility and self-confidence. We are comprised of dedicated community members who give their free time to the arts and have a true passion for theatre and sharing it with the people in our area!
