The Bushwick Starr is a full-scale performance venue dedicated to bringing a continuum of art and artists to the Bushwick community. Focusing on the presentation of theater, dance, and music, The Bushwick Starr welcomes and encourages the exhibition of a broad spectrum of art forms and disciplines. We aim to foster an open social environment for artists and audiences to interact within the growing neighborhood of Bushwick.

The Bushwick Starr began in 2001 as a rehearsal and performance space for the New York based experimental theater company, Fovea Floods Theater. In 2003, the company helped to fully convert the space to a black-box venue and has since mounted many shows in The Bushwick Starr. To learn more about Fovea Floods, please visit www.foveafloods.org
