Brown, Arvin (b. 1940), director and manager. He was born in Los Angeles and studied at Stanford, Harvard, the University of Bristol (England), and at the Yale School of Drama. Brown has directed both classics and new works, as well as the American premieres of foreign plays. He has occasionally worked on Broadway and at the Circle in the Square, but he is most associated with the Long Wharf Theatre where he served as artistic director for many years. Broadway has praised his revivals of A View from the Bridge (1983), Joe Egg (1984), All My Sons (1987), Ah, Wilderness! (1988), and Private Lives (1992), though few were commercial successes. Brown's direction is never flashy or highly conceptual but instead focuses on realism and ensemble acting.
