EXPANDING THE BOUNDARIES OF THEATER

The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) is a professional, not-for-profit theater company based at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Founded in 1980 by Robert Brustein, A.R.T. is dedicated to producing innovative and experimental theater that challenges traditional boundaries. The theater operates primarily from the Loeb Drama Center, which features a 560-seat main theater and a black box experimental space, hosting around 400 performances each year. A.R.T. is committed to fostering community engagement and education through its productions, which include new plays, progressive classics, and interdisciplinary collaborations. The theater has received numerous accolades, including 19 Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize. It also supports educational initiatives, such as the Institute for Advanced Theatre Training, which collaborates with the Moscow Art Theatre School to train graduate actors, directors, and dramaturgs. A.R.T. continues to be a vital part of the Boston and Harvard communities, promoting dialogue and artistic exploration.
