The Gorilla Repertory Theater Company, also known as Gorilla Rep, is an environmental theater company based out of New York City. Best known for its perennial production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Gorilla Rep brings plays to parks all over New York City from its inception in 1989 through today. The founder and artistic director is Christopher Carter Sanderson.

Gorilla Rep's repertoire consists primarily of the works of William Shakespeare and other classics, with occasional works by modern playwrights. 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. From scene to scene, both actors and audience change location, with the actors running to the next setting and the audience following behind.
