  Group Theatre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Group Theatre was a theater collective, formed in New York in 1931 by Harold Clurman, Cheryl Crawford and Lee Strasberg.
The name "Group" came from the idea of the actors as a pure ensemble; there were to be no "stars." The company's first original play was the labor one-act Waiting for Lefty by Clifford Odets, produced in 1935.
In 1947, many former Group members formed or joined the longer-lasting Actors Studio, where the techniques they'd developed were refined and taught.

 Untitled Document
Inspired by the revolutionary theories of Russian director Konstantin Stanislavski, the Group Theatre, was composed of a collection of Theater Guild talent, who bonded to create a theater with a closer relationship to "art" than the Guild represented.
Idealistic and young (the average age was somewhere around 25), the group was united by a belief that theater was too involved with a "star" system, not particularly interested in the problems of "real life", too dependent on "hit or flop" commercialism, and that the art of acting itself was too artificial and fabricated.
The Group Theater was disbanded in 1940 after a number of rifts and restructures had adulterated the Group's original concepts.
