2026 Gala
The Bushwick Starr is an award-winning nonprofit theater in Brooklyn, devoted to artists, community and bold new work.
“The work they program is boldly experimental…it’s also a lot of fun. Bright, welcoming, and an invitation of wildness.”
The New York Times
“There are only a handful of venues dedicated to showcasing actually risky, vividly in-flux work on a regular basis...the immensely valuable Bushwick Starr is one of them.”
Vulture
“You don’t need a crystal ball to see the artists who are going to light up the theater of tomorrow; you just need to hop on the L Train.”
Theatermania
“One of the leading spaces in the borough for ambitious and cutting edge theater.”
Brooklyn Magazine
“One of the city’s most successful incubators. Even as its work reaches bigger stages, the company continues to make theatre that feels handmade, risky and alive.”
TDF
“One of New York’s best-curated Off-Off venues… Brooklyn’s hottest incubator.”
Time Out New York
“Theater’s answer to the rock club where you caught your favorite band before it got big.”
Village Voice
“Artistically ambitious while still maintaining a real commitment to community.”
