The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) at Harvard University, under the Artistic Direction of Diane Paulus, is pleased to announce its 2013/14 Season, which includes the previously announced Robert Schenkkan's play All the Way and the world premiere of the musical Witness Uganda.

"Each season we look for pieces that will catalyze engagement with our community," stated Diane Paulus. "It is particularly exciting to be able to produce work that represents a wide range of styles and form, featuring the most exciting performers and creative visionaries in the field. The power of this season is the range of work that takes us from Shakespeare, interpreted by one of the greatest magicians of our time, to a brilliant new play that deals with American politics, a dance piece that challenges the conventions of traditional storytelling, a re-envisioning of an English legend that moves the focus from the hero to the heroine, to a new musical that takes on the complicated nature of American aid work in Africa." Paulus continued, "I am thrilled to have the A.R.T. present this diverse spectrum of projects that so powerfully reflect our core mission of expanding the boundaries of theater."
