repertoire
Meaning: The complete list of works that a performer, musician, or company is prepared to perform; a range or stock of skills, techniques, or devices.
In music and theatre, a repertoire is the collection of pieces an artist can perform at any given time. By extension, the word is used metaphorically to describe anyone's range of abilities or responses — a teacher's repertoire of classroom strategies, for instance. 'Repertory' (often shortened to 'rep') refers specifically to a theatre system in which a company performs different plays in rotation.
