Editing Repertory theatre (section)

== Eastern Europe ==
In [[Russia]] and much of [[Eastern Europe]], repertory theatre is based on the idea that each company maintains a number of productions that are performed on a rotating basis. Each production's life span is determined by its success with the audience. However, many productions remain in repertory for years as this approach presents each piece a few times in a given season, not enough to exhaust the potential audience pool. After the fall of the Soviet regime and the substantial diminution of government subsidy, the repertory practice has required re-examination. [[Moscow Art Theatre]] and [[Lev Dodin]]'s Maly Drama Theatre of [[St. Petersburg]] are the world's most notable practitioners of this approach.

Rotation Repertory system is still the most commonly used business model of live theatre in Eastern and Central Europe, specifically in countries such as Austria, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia and Czech Republic.

In Germany, most publicly funded theatres and some private theatres (such as the Schaubühne Berlin) run on a repertory system. See [[:de:Deutsche_Theaterlandschaft|German theatre system]] (page in German).
