Rattlestick Theater has been an artistic home to provocative, daring theater artists since 1994. Our mission is to produce ambitious plays that lead to positive social change by inspiring empathy and provoking conversation. Now led by Artistic Director Will Davis, the first transgender person to run an off-Broadway theater, Rattlestick is redoubling its efforts to support energetic theater that responds to the complexities of our culture through the radical distribution of resources toward the creation of new theatrical work.

Our Home Has a New Name

We are proud to announce that our building at 224 Waverly Place, Rattlestick's home in the heart of the West Village, is being renamed
The Terrence McNally Theater, honoring the late Tony Award-winning playwright and enduring giant of the American stage.
