About
The crowd at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater is an eclectic mix of downtown regulars and adventurous theatergoers, all here for the kind of challenging new work that defines this Off-Broadway gem. Since 1994, Rattlestick has produced over 100 world premieres, launching the careers of writers like Annie Baker and Martyna Majok. It's a place where risky, conversation-starting plays find a home, and where the audience leans in close. The theater's intimate space makes every seat feel like you're part of the action. For a dose of culture before the show, grab a drink at a neighborhood bar in the West Village, just steps away from the theater.
