"[St. Ann's Warehouse produces] tough, raw, emotion-provoking material…at the vanguard of the
avant-garde. (The New York Times)
St. Ann's
Warehouse is celebrating its 30th Anniversary Season! For 30 years, St. Ann’s Warehouse has
commissioned, produced, and presented a unique and eclectic body of innovative
theatre and concert presentations that meet at the intersection of theatre and
rock and roll. Since 2000, the organization has helped vitalize the Brooklyn
Waterfront in DUMBO, where St. Ann’s Warehouse has
become one of New York City’s
most important and compelling live performance destinations.
Through its signature multi-artist concerts and
groundbreaking music and theatre collaborations, St. Ann’s
continues to celebrate the panoramic traditions of American and world cultures,
with forays into a variety of contemporary forms, including new commissions and
multi-disciplinary theatrical presentations. Among the many acclaimed St. Ann’s
productions are Lou Reed and John Cale’s Songs for Drella, Marianne Faithfull’s
Seven Deadly Sins, Artistic Director Susan Feldman’s Band in Berlin, Charlie
Kaufman and the Coen Brothers’ Theater of the New Ear, The Royal Court Theatre’s
4:48 Psychosis, The Wooster Group’s Hamlet, The Emperor Jones, House/Lights, To
You, The Birdie! (Phèdre), The Globe Theatre’s Measure for Measure, Daniel

In 2004, founding Artistic Director, Susan Feldman, and St. Ann’s Warehouse were
awarded the Ross Wetzsteon Award for the development of new work and for
“inviting artists to treat their cavernous DUMBO space as both an inspiring
laboratory and a sleek venue where its superinformed audience charges the
atmosphere with hip vitality.”
