"[St. Ann's Warehouse
produces] tough, raw, emotion-provoking material…at the vanguard of the
avant-garde.” (The New York Times)
For over 27 years, St. Ann’s Warehouse has
commissioned, produced and presented an eclectic body of innovative
productions that meet at the intersection of theater and rock
and roll. Since 2001, the organization has helped vitalize the emerging
Brooklyn waterfront neighborhood of DUMBO, where St. Ann’s Warehouse at 38 Water
Street has become one of New York City’s most important and compelling live
performance destinations. Through its signature multi-artist concerts and
ground-breaking music and theater collaborations, St. Ann’s continues to
celebrate the panoramic traditions of American and world cultures, with forays
into contemporary forms including new commissions and multi-disciplinary theatrical
presentations.
St. Ann’s highly acclaimed past productions include Lou Reed’s 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 Theater’s 4:48 Psychosis, The Wooster Group’s Hamlet, The Emperor Jones, House/Lights and To You, the Birdie, The Globe Theatre’s Measure for Measure, Antony’s Turning,Lou Reed’s Berlin, Mabou Mines Dollhouse, which continues to tour the world, and the Drama Desk Award-nominated productions Woyzeck from Gate Theatre London and Hell House from Les Freres Corbusier.
In 2004, Susan Feldman and St. Ann's Warehouse were awarded the Ross Wetzsteon OBIE Award for the development of new work. The OBIE Award Committee honored St. Ann’s for "inviting artists to treat their cavernous DUMBO space as both an inspiring laboratory and a sleek venue where its super-informed audience charges the atmosphere with hip vitality."
