As of September 2009, The Bushwick Starr announced the official beginning of our venue as a Presenting Organization. We are excited to have embarked on a full time shift towards creating diverse and structured performance seasons, and helping to produce artists whose work we believe in. This exciting transition allows us to cultivate powerful programming and offer consistent and exciting new work to our community of theater-goers. Our goal is to build longevity as an arts space with a strong voice and vision.
We are currently seeking support for the following projects in our upcoming Season:
BAND OF PUPPETS FEST - produced by The Bushwick Starr (November, 2010)
We are excited to develop BAND OF PUPPETS as an annual puppetry festival, featuring short new work from selected puppetry artists. Each year, the festival will be based around the musical repertoire of a band/musician who’s music is visual and inspiring, and who’s material can serve as a backdrop or focal element for the artists to work with. For our premier festival, we will be working with music from The Talking Heads.
BIG GREEN THEATER - produced by The Bushwick Starr (November, 2010 - April, 2011)
BGT involves combining an Environmental Education initiative with local schools, along with the presentation of a full-scale performance within the Green Theater/Eco-Theater movement. Our goal is to establish this program as an annual community theater festival that will address both global and local environmental issues in a constructive and creative way.
