The Bushwick Starr is an Obie Award winning not-for-profit theater that presents an annual season of new performance works. 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 artists to make career-defining leaps, and we are a sanctuary where established artists come to experiment and innovate. We are also a neighborhood playhouse, serving our Bushwick, Brooklyn community's diverse artistic needs and impulses. We produce 3 main stage shows per season, in addition to several education & community programs, special events, and development opportunities such as our new works Reading Series and artist residencies.
The Starr is very much an environment of artists/administrators who are passionate about supporting new work, ambitious artists, and our programs & partnerships in Bushwick. Our relatively small size allows us to work closely and collaboratively, and as such, we value transparency, strong communication, and democratic decision-making practices between roles and departments.
We want to acknowledge that the Starr is an organization that has historically been run by an executive team of white, cisgendered people. As we grow, we continue to envision a team and model that reflects the 21st century world we live in and serves our local and national community. The Bushwick Starr is committed to continuing its implementation of anti-oppression practices and training for staff and board members. In 2018 we created our Code of Community: a living document on our website that details the codes by which all who pass through our doors will be treated and expected to treat others. We hold regular staff forums and trainings to continue our development in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA).
