Yale Rep Celebrates Its 50th Amid Nostalgia (and a Few Worries)

The New York Times: Leave it to Robert Brustein, the outspoken founding director of Yale Repertory Theater, to raise tough questions at a celebration of the theater’s 50th anniversary this weekend.

Now 89, Mr. Brustein helped transform the university’s School of Drama from a graduate program turning out academics into a full-fledged professional school that, working in association with Yale Rep (as the theater is known), produced luminaries like the Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep and the Tony Award-winning playwright Christopher Durang.
