This company was founded in the summer of 1969, as an outlet for talented high school and college students, by Robert J. Eagle, a Waltham Public Schools teacher and administrator. In 1984, the company hired its first Equity actor under a Guest Artist agreement. Now a year-round producing organization, Reagle operates under a Letter of Agreement with Actors’ Equity each summer and reverts to Guest Artist status for performances from September to June.
Throughout the company’s existence, its goal has been to recreate the original Broadway productions of classic musicals as closely as possible, from design elements to choreography and direction. Reagle also presents musical revues featuring local performers and guest artists. In 2003, the company inaugurated a Celebrity Concert Series that has showcased such talents as Robert Goulet, Ann-Margret, Debbie Reynolds, and Patti LuPone.
