'... The theater is so endlessly fascinating,' playwright Arthur Miller said in 1984, 'because it's so accidental. It's so much like life.' For internationally recognized director, actor, and teacher John Strasberg, the search for happy theatrical accidents that he believes define all creative processes has been a lifelong quest. Now the 67-year old scion of the Strasberg family has founded his own company, appropriately named the Accidental Repertory Theater.
'Our goal is to produce work that is spontaneous and real, every performance different, and that will entertain, move, and enlighten,' Strasberg said recently. 'The productions are beautiful and essential, the production values defining the elements of life that are absolutely necessary to create, and illuminate, the human beings who populate the play, and the world they live in.'
