The A.R.T. at Harvard University is a leading force in the American theater, producing groundbreaking work in Cambridge and beyond. The A.R.T. was founded in 1980 by Robert Brustein, who served as Artistic Director until 2002, when he was succeeded by Robert Woodruff. Diane Paulus began her tenure as Artistic Director in 2008.

    Great Show-Great Seats
    I went to see Finding Neverland the Musical. The show was fantastic. I'm excited to hear it will be going to Broadway. The Theater is wonderful. Good sound, and didn't seem to be a bad seat in the theater.

    Jagged Little Pill
    The theater was small enough to get info & out of quickly. The Jagged Little Pill Lola’s was outstandingly phenomenal. Casting, Acting, music, creativity was remarkable. The all-gender bathrooms made the intermission bathroom traffic much more efficient than you’d think! I had an amazing time here. Great theater group, THANK YOU! Only thing missing: the music from the show downloadable! Please please please make it available for download/purchase!
