The National Actors Theatre (NAT) was a theatre company founded in 1991 by actor Tony Randall, who served as the company's chairman. Randall stated he had long dreamed of creating such an organization. The company was originally housed at the Belasco Theatre, New York, but then moved to the nearby Lyceum Theatre, and in 2002 was based in the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace University in New York City. NAT was the only professional theatre company housed in a university in New York City.
