For the first two seasons, only about six productions were performed annually by Harvard students. In between Harvard productions, the center was rented to outside groups. In 1979, the American Repertory Theater moved from its home in New Haven to take up residence at the Loeb, with Robert Brustein continuing as artistic director. The center has a costume and properties workshop, a set workshop, practice rooms, dressing rooms, executive offices, and two theaters where plays are actually presented. The experimental theater, which seats over 100, provides opportunities for those interested in various aspects of drama, regardless of previous experience.
Tickets are complimentary.
The two theaters and the shop area are separated by soundproofing that allows for simultaneous activity in all three areas without noisy interference. Building information courtesy of the Crimson Key Society.
