  Artists' Repertory Theatre (ART) is community theatre group based in Fresno, California. Founded in 2005, the group's maiden performance took place in 2006, with the critically acclaimed Love's Fire. In 2009, ART produced the Fresno premier of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Rabbit Hole, by David Lindsay-Abaire, and caused a local stir with the Fresno premier Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show.
  
  According to the Fresno Bee, ART is one of few theatre groups in Fresno with an "established reputation for quality."
