ReppyToire: A Tour de Farce
Presented by the VORTEX

In 1991, Standing-Room-Only crowds at Austin's famed Chicago House were introduced to an entertainer known only as Reppy, a native New Yorker who took Austin by storm with her outrageously funny one-woman show, "Do I Need To Talk About That For Three Hours?" The late great John Bustin, the Dean of Austin Theatre Critics, praised Reppy and the "…ample evidence of her surging popularity."

During a long hiatus from performing, Reppy raised a daughter, wrote a book about relationships, released a CD of her piano solos, and became a playwright, producer, and theatre director, spearheading the successful and highly innovative drama program at The Austin Waldorf High School.

After years of haranguing by her loyal fans, Reppy is staging her long-awaited comeback (pun most definitely intended) at The VORTEX. Her one-woman show provides a unique blend of character comedy and voices, alternating between more than 20 different Personas. Don’t miss the debut of Reppy’s hilarious new show!
