repertory

This fall begins Ms. Rubasingham’s first season, which features 16 productions including such savory enticements as Paul Mescal performing in two plays in repertory, including “Death of a Salesman.”

And against all that preceded it this season, “Foreseeable Future” appears to be lacking repertory legs.

His songs were sung by Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra and Barbra Streisand; they won Academy Awards and were part of the repertory of any self-respecting cocktail pianist.

The jams are mostly rock oldies, Lennon’s deeply ingrained repertory from the early Beatles days, and they offer a fly-on-the-wall glimpse of the more relaxed, private side of his music making.

The carefully curated communal experience offered by repertory theaters is enduring the hardships of the box office, even after the pandemic, which led to the demise of some well-known cinemas.
