RATTLESTICK PRODUCTIONS INC

From our historic West Village theater since 1992, Rattlestick has produced the first plays and early works of some of todays leading voices, including Annie Baker (The Aliens, Obie for Best New American Play), Bailey Williams and Emma Horwitz (Two Sisters Find A Box of Lesbian Erotica in the Woods), and Diana Oh (mylingerieplay). We are proud to make Rattlestick a place where some of our nations most celebrated playwrights feel safe to test their new ideas, including Dael Orlandersmith (Until the Flood), Ethan Lipton (We Are Your Robots), and Samuel D. Hunter (Lewiston/Clarkson, nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play and the Outer Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play).Rattlesticks annual activities are guided by three main programming anchors that re-imagine how we make new work and focus on the unique process each artist needs: PRODUCTIONS, a lineup of new theatrically expansive Off-Broadway plays by innovative theatermakers that are deepened by incubator workshops which adhere to bespoke development timelines shaped by the project as it grows; FELLOWSHIPS, four distinct programs dedicated to serving emerging playwrights and directors along with a new Director-in-Residence initiative launched in FY26; and WORKING ARTIST INITIATIVES which include the new Waverly Performance Studio, a program designed to give our audiences access to artists in process, the Global Forms Theater Festival, a platform for international and immigrant theater artists to share in-progress work, and Rattle On Artist Salons, artist-forward cultivation engagements organized around sharing the behind-the-scenes development process with our community. These programs together serve approximately 10,000 audience members and 500 artists annually.
