Donnie Darko American Repertory Theatre Based on the screenplay by Richard Kelly Adapted and directed by Marcus Stern Through November 18 Zero Arrow Theatre, Cambridge Ticket and performance information In bringing "Donnie Darko" to Cambridge's Zero Arrow stage, the American Repertory Theatre has made bold move: it decided to issue a challenge to two diverse target audiences, either of which could easily feel skittish about the mere idea of A.R.T.'s latest production.
