Upperstage - Indiana Repertory Theater is an intimate studio theater within the Indiana Repertory Theatre, a professional LORT regional theater company in downtown Indianapolis. The building originally opened in 1927 as the Indiana Theatre, a Spanish Baroque / Churrigueresque-style former movie palace, and became home to Indiana Repertory Theatre in 1980 following restoration. The city-owned building is operated by Indiana Repertory Theatre, Inc. under a long-term lease, and the Upperstage seats roughly 250–300 guests in a close-in studio environment.
The venue is part of Indiana’s largest professional resident theater company and supports a season that typically runs from fall through late spring. Events include plays, new works, smaller-scale and experimental productions, holiday programming, and special packages such as happy-hour and themed performance nights. The Upperstage’s smaller scale creates a closer actor-audience connection than the larger Mainstage, giving performances a direct, focused feel.
Housed inside one of Indianapolis’s notable historic buildings, the Upperstage is known for intimate professional theater in a restored downtown landmark.
