The Bushwick Starr

The Bushwick Starr is an Obie Award-winning nonprofit theater that presents an annual Season of new performance work.  We are an organization defined by both our artists and our community, and since 2007, we have grown into a thriving theatrical venue, a vital neighborhood arts center, and a destination for exciting and engaging performance.  We provide a springboard for emerging professional artists to make career-defining leaps, and we are a sanctuary where established performance companies come to experiment and innovate.  Our past Seasons have included new work from groundbreaking artists such as The Mad Ones, Clare Barron, Dave Malloy, The Debate Society, the TEAM, and Half Straddle.

“A home for gutsy experimental work.” – 2012 Village Voice OBIE Award for Outstanding Work

“Brooklyn’s hottest incubator. One of New York’s best-curated off-off venues.” – Time Out New York
