The Bushwick Starr is an award-winning nonprofit theater in Bushwick, Brooklyn, that has served as a home for artists, community, and bold new work since 2007. What began as a neighborhood arts space has grown into one of Brooklyn's leading venues for ambitious and cutting-edge theater, with a reputation for work that is boldly experimental. In April 2021, the organization purchased its permanent home at 419 Eldert Street — a 5,000-square-foot Bushwick building — and completed a full renovation in August 2024. The facility is LEED-certified and fully accessible, housing both performance and education programming under one roof. The Starr takes a distinctly artist-centered approach: creators develop productions in the same space where performances take place, rather than building work elsewhere and importing it.
