The company was founded in 1989 by artistic director Christopher Carter Sanderson.
Gorilla Rep's repertoire consists primarily of the works of William Shakespeare and other classics, with occasional works by modern playwrights.[2] Most of Gorilla Rep's productions are performed outdoors, in various parks in New York City, with local environmental features worked into the staging of the show.[3] From scene to scene, both actors and audience change location, with the actors running to the next setting and the audience following behind.[4]
