The exhibition of the personal archive of recently retired Robert Brustein, former director of the Loeb Drama Center and founder of Boston's American Repertory Theatre, will be on display on the main floor of Mugar Memorial Library.

The day will also mark the honoring of Brustein as a Fellow of the Center. Huntington Theatre Company artistic director Nicholas Martin (Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme) will be on hand to speak and pay tribute to his colleague.

Under Brustein's tutelage, productions of Wings, The 1940's Radio Hour, Grown Ups, 'night, Mother, A Moon for the Misbegotten, Big River, Mastergate and The Old Neighborhood have made their way to Broadway. He has adapted 11 works including The Wild Duck, The Master Builder, Three Farces and a Funeral, Enrico IV, and Lysistrata as well as directed his own version of The Father, Ghosts, The Changeling, and the trilogy of Pirandello works: Six Characters In Search of An Author, Right You Are (If You Think You Are), and Tonight We Improvise.
