The Rep Under Peter Altman (2000-2007)
A new era for the company began with Peter Altman assuming leadership in 2000 as producing artistic director. Altman came to the Rep after eighteen years as founding producing director of the Huntington Theatre Company in Boston. Under his direction and that of the theater's board of directors, led by William C. Nelson, Kansas City Rep was committed to building on its four-decade tradition, expanding its audience, upgrading and diversifying its range of artists, and extending its repertoire to include new work and large-scale classics. The Board of Directors voted in 2004 to rename the company Kansas City Repertory Theatre to reflect better its identity, location, and audience. That same year a major refurbishment of Spencer Theatre was completed.
