Everything about Yale Repertory Theatre totally explained
Yale Repertory Theatre at
Yale University in
New Haven, Connecticut was founded by
Robert Brustein, dean of the
Yale School of Drama in
1966, with the goal of facilitating a meaningful collaboration between theatre professionals and talented students. In the process it has become one of the first distinguished regional theatres.
As head of
"the Rep" from 1966 to 1979, Brustein brought professional actors to Yale each year to form a repertory company, and nurtured notable new authors including
August Wilson and
Athol Fugard. The more successful works were regularly transferred to commercial theaters.
The dean of the Yale School of Drama is the artistic director of the Yale Repertory Theatre, with Lloyd Richards serving in this capacity 1979-1991, Stan Wojewodski, Jr., 1991-2002, and James Bundy since 2002.
Of the ninety world premieres the Rep has produced, four have won
Pulitzer Prizes; ten productions have received
Tony Awards after being transferred to
Broadway, and the Yale Repertory Theatre was given a Tony for Outstanding Regional Theatre in 1991.
In 2002, the Yale School of Drama and Yale Repertory Theatre received the Governor's Arts Award from Governor
John Rowland for artistic achievement and contribution to the arts in the state of
Connecticut.
