Catalyst Repertory is an Indianapolis-based, 501c3 nonprofit repertory, community theatre troupe. Catalyst focuses on producing new plays or new adaptations of classic plays. In 2015, they (as CRP [Casey Ross Productions]) opened the 'doors' to their first season, at Fountain Square's Grove Haus, with Ross's original script, The Ripple Effect, and enjoyed a sold out house, their first opening night. Since then, with their rebranding, they have remained a mainstay Indianapolis theatre institution for new, fringe, and edgier works not typically seen in the Midwest. Founder and Artistic Director, Casey Ross is known as a veteran Indianapolis playwright, through her time creating new works within the IndyFringe Festival. She first founded CRP in 2014, after a successful run at the 10th anniversary IndyFringe Festival. With the official addition of Creative Director and Musical Director, Dave Pelsue, and Creative Director and Managing Director, Taylor Cox - the Catalyst Repertory brand was born. Our company promises to produce exciting and challenging shows that act as a catalyst to important conversations.

One weekend only! And yes, we *are* double booked, this weekend, thank you for asking - if you aren't here, be at the IF Theatre blackbox for Building Jerusalem, for their final weekend of the weirdest party of the century...and last.

Basically, what we are saying is GET TO SOME LIVE THEATRE THIS WEEKEND. We're giving you *2* options.

If you've seen the show, this scene probably shook you. What should further shake you, is that...we're still doing it.

Really, read the article in the pinned comment.

THIS is why Building Jerusalem is an important work. Not an easy work. This season, Catalyst was focused on showing you that we ARE like this - so that we can become something better. You have ONE more weekend to take in something challenging and powerful. It's not easy to bring rarities to stage, but we do - we do it because theatre has the power to hold the heaviest mirrors to our faces.

"As this is a difficult show to describe, please believe me that this is an excellent production, eerily perfect for October and perfect for 2026. Mystery, history, idealism, and ideas of “necessary” cruelty combine for a New Years Eve party you’ll never forget." -PWJW
..how appropreiate that we get to share this first review of Building Jerusalem on Indigenous People's Day...people we are still struggling to understand and embrace.

You have 2 more weekends to catch what some are saying is their favorite show of the season, it's not about politics in the Middle East...it's about our future. All of our futures.

DON'T GET FOOLED BY TITLES.

This show has nothing to do with politics in the Middle East. In fact, it's disturbingly universal. Where will you be in 100 years? What do you leave behind?

It's spooky. It's funny. And, you should take the plunge to see it! We're back on for a matinee, doors at 2 PM and performance starts at 3 PM.

See LIVE theatre. Especially if you've not heard of the show. We'll see you at the party, TODAY at IF Theatre.
