RepFest 2025

No sets, no lights, no costumes—just great stories, well told. Play readings are a vital part of the production process and for the first time this fall, OKC Rep invites you behind the scenes to experience some of the very best contemporary American plays with us.

THE LINEUP

THE COMEUPPANCE

by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins

directed by Elizabeth Dragoo

When a group of old classmates meet to pregame their twentieth high school reunion, everyone is nervous for the night ahead. Did their friendships stand the test of time, or will they realize they don’t have as much in common as they thought they did? Brilliantly witty, theatrical, and moving, THE COMEUPPANCE is a story of millennials and their reckoning with the world they will soon inherit. Playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is the winner of the 2024 and 2025 Tony Awards for Best Play, and the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

PRIMARY TRUST

by Eboni Booth

directed by Brandon Burton

Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, PRIMARY TRUST is a touching and inventive play about new beginnings, old friends and seeing the world for the first time. Meet Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker who spends his evenings sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar. When he’s suddenly laid off, Kenneth finally begins to face a world he's long avoided – with transformative and even comical results. One of the top 10 most produced plays across the US last season.

JOHN

by Annie Baker

directed by Madison Niederhauser

JOHN is an eerily supernatural take on mortality and the solitude of human experience. It's the week after Thanksgiving. A Bed & Breakfast in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A cheerful innkeeper. A young couple struggling to stay together. Thousands of inanimate objects, watching. Annie Baker is the winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
