Founding director Robert Brustein will step down as head of American Repertory Theatre after 22 years. “Brustein has functioned as a director, adapter, fund-raiser and playwright (the ART will stage his adaptation of Chekhov’s ‘The Proposal, the Bear, and the Wedding Reception’ and his new original play `The Face-Lift’ this season, which opens next month with a limited run of `The King Stag’). He also has remained unapologetic about some of the company’s more misguided productions.” – Boston Herald
