This might be a double definition.

'material' is the first definition.
(I know that rep is a type of material)

'local theatre' is the second definition.
'rep' can be an answer for 'theatre' (repertory theatre). I'm not certain of the 'local' bit.

'for the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rep that I've seen before include "what a draper usually sells" , "Material for curtains" , "Repertory theatre" , "Corded cloth for short theatrical group" , "agent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
