People's Theatre (Cambridge, Mass.)
Hide Profile
The People's Theatre was founded in 1964 by Ruth Elder, formerly a professor of speech and drama at Tufts University. One of the most noted features of the company was its dedication to multiracial casting, a policy that was established by Elder and adopted by her successors, Chris Connaire (1967-1980) and June Judson (1980-1982). When it closed in 1982, the People's Theatre was the oldest continuously operating small theatre in the Boston area.
