The Bushwick Starr

AtW is creatively managing the design and construction of a new black-box theater in Brooklyn for the beloved Bushwick Starr theater company. The Bushwick Starr has grown with the neighborhood it calls home since 2001, and this new permanent home opens an exciting chapter. With guidance from the team, the client is able to navigate its first major capital and construction project, while expertly managing the budget and schedule. The 5,000 SF interior renovation includes a studio, shop, and office space, all designed to provide the community with important shared spaces for talks, film screenings, after-school programming, and local artists’ shows. This rewarding project, partnering with a forward-thinking design team and a passionate nonprofit, was a special one. The new space will take Bushwick Starr to the next level, defining new standards for equity and inclusion in the local theatrical landscape while bolstering the arts experience for the community and beyond.
