The Bushwick Starr
Non-profit theater in Brooklyn, New York
About
The Bushwick Starr is an off-off-Broadway non-profit theater in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. It was cofounded in 2007 by Sue Kessler and Noel Allain, who also serve as its directors. The Starr was located on Starr Street until 2020 when their space was sold and they announced the purchase of and relocation to a former dairy plant at 419 Eldert Street.
The Starr is known for its artists, including Jeremy O. Harris, Daniel Fish, Dave Malloy, and Heather Christian. They first programmed a full season in 2009 and were firmly a part of the Off Off Broadway community by 2011. The venue especially features experimental theatre works and seeks to avoid the commercial pressures of other larger theaters.
