The American Repertory Theatre (or A.R.T.) is housed in the Loeb Drama Center at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1980 by Robert Brustein and Robert Orchard. Its present artistic director is Robert Woodruff. The A.R.T premiered the Pulitzer Prize winning play Night, Mother by Marsha Norman in 1982. It's also famous for the production of Samuel Beckett's Endgame, directed by Joanne Akalaitis that angered him by not following his staging directions and setting the play in a subway. Other directors who have worked at the A.R.T include: Anne Bogart, Andre Serban and Peter Sellars.
In 1987 A.R.T. founded the Institute for Advanced Theatre Training.
