American Laboratory Theatre, training school and production company founded in New York in the 1920s by
Richard Boleslavsky (1889–1937) and
Maria Ouspenskaya (1876–1949). They were both former members of the
Moscow Art Theatre, training actors and directors in the techniques of
Stanislavsky, of which they became the leading American exponents. Their students included Lee
Strasberg and Harold
Clurman. After some interesting productions, among which in 1928 were Jean-Jacques
Bernard's Martine and Arthur
Schnitzler's The Bridal Veil, the company dispersed in 1933.
