2 CLARENCE BROWN THEATRE The Clarence Brown Theatre Company is a professional theatre company in residence at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Founded in 1974 by Sir Anthony Quayle and Dr. Ralph G. Allen, the company is a member of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT) and is the only professional LORT company within a 150-mile radius of Knoxville. The University of Tennessee is one of a select number of universities nationwide that are affiliated with a professional LORT theatre, allowing students regular opportunities to work alongside professional actors, directors, designers, dramaturgs, and production artists. The theatre was named in honor of Knoxville native and University of Tennessee graduate, Clarence Brown, the distinguished MGM director of such beloved films as The Yearling and National Velvet. In addition to the 575-seat proscenium theatre, the CBT s facilities house the costume shop, electrics department, scene shop, property shop, actors dressing quarters, and a 100-seat Lab Theatre. The Clarence Brown Theatre Company also utilizes the Ula Love Doughty Carousel Theatre, an arena theatre with flexible seating for 350, located next to the CBT on the University of Tennessee campus. The Clarence Brown Theatre has a 19-member resident faculty, headed by Calvin MacLean, and 25 full-time management and production staff members.
