- Biography (note)
- In 1968, Jerome Robbins and the members of the American Theatre Laboratory developed and rehearsed a theater piece about President Kennedy's assassination. The script, begun by Tom Stone and further developed by John Guare, was adapted from the Warren Commission Report, and the staging was influenced by Japanese Noh drama. Scenes from this project were rehearsed in many different forms and with different casts. American Theatre Laboratory was created in 1966 by Jerome Robbins, with a $300,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. The experimental theater workshop rehearsed several projects but did not produce any shows. American Theatre Laboratory disbanded in 1968.
