 A.R.T./MXAT INSTITUTE PERFORMANCES
- A taste of the Future!
- World-class international directors collaborating with up-and-coming young actors
- FREE to season ticket holders!
Founded in 1987 as a training ground for the American theatre, the A.R.T. Institute for Advanced Theatre Training (IATT) at Harvard University is one of the most dynamic graduate theatre programs in the country. Each year, the Institute accepts the most talented acting, dramaturgy, and voice students from around the U.S. and from abroad to participate in a unique training program that combines classroom study with direct, professional experience in the field.
Since 1998, the Institute has also been in a close partnership with the Moscow Art Theatre School (MXAT) in Russia. During their first year of training the Institute students spend a semester in Moscow, where they have the opportunity to be part of one of the world’s most active theatre cultures and study with Russian master teachers. During their second year in Cambridge they join the professional company and are cast in major roles in several A.R.T. productions. Institute graduates have gone on to highly successful careers in theatre, television, film, and academia.
As part of their training, the Institute also produces a full season of plays primarily at Zero Arrow Theatre, staged by leading directors from this country and abroad. Over half of the Institute’s season is dedicated to premieres of new American work, and some of the projects – such as Marcus Stern’s sold-out stage adaptation of the hit film Donnie Darko – are so successful that they receive further development and a professional production during the A.R.T. season.
Season-ticket holders are invited to attend all Institute productions for free!
Come see the next generation of actors performing provocative and exciting new work at the A.R.T. Institute. To be informed of upcoming Institute productions when they are announced, sign up for A.R.T. Connections, the e-mail news service of the American Repertory Theatre.
