Houseman, John [ Jacques Haussmann] (1902–88), American producer, director, and actor, born in Romania. He became known in 1935 when he produced Archibald
MacLeish's Panic in New York, and in 1936 was the most important figure in the Negro theatre established by the
Federal Theatre Project. In 1937–8 he collaborated with Orson
Welles in running the Mercury Theatre (see
COMEDY THEATRE, New York). He later became a film producer, but still directed plays on Broadway and elsewhere, becoming Artistic Director of the American Shakespeare Festival, 1956–9 (see
AMERICAN SHAKESPEARE THEATRE), and of the Theatre Group of the University of California at Los Angeles, 1959–64 (see
MARK TAPER FORUM). He also headed the Drama Division of the Juilliard School of the Performing Arts, 1968–76, and in 1972 founded the City Center Acting Company at the
City Center of Music and Drama. Well known also as an opera producer, in the 1960s he began a new career as a film and television actor.
