Loeb Drama Center

Loeb Drama Center


The Loeb Drama Center, at the corner of Brattle and Hilliard streets, was completed in 1960. In 1979, the American Repertory Theatre (ART), a professional repertory company, moved from its home in New Haven to take up residence at the Loeb. Today, in addition to the activities of the ART, the center houses the Harvard/Radcliffe Dramatic Club, an undergraduate theater production organization, and the Institute for Advanced Theatre Training, a professional training program for actors, directors, designers, playwrights, dramaturgs, and other theatre artists. The center has a costume and properties workshop, a set workshop, practice rooms, dressing rooms, executive offices, and two theaters. The main stage, which seats 556, has the world's first "convertible" theater; the stage can be converted into three shapes, where there are no obstructed views and no seat more than 120 feet from the stage. The "Ex," Loeb's experimental black-box theater, seats more than 100 and is so versatile that it changes shape almost every weekend. [read more]
