Robert Woodruff will step down as artistic director of the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Mass., and return to his native New York, where he will continue to direct and teach, the theater announced Thursday.

Woodruff, who joined the Harvard University-affiliated theater in 2001, will leave after his contract ends in 2007. He programmed five seasons “of some of the most distinguished productions” in the theater’s 26-year history, executive director Robert Orchard said in a statement.

Woodruff is only the second resident artistic director for the theater that has won the Pulitzer, Tony and Jujamcyn awards since 1980.
