Artistic Home Campaign
Rattlestick’s Artistic Home Campaign is an invitation to care for our space, artists, and audiences. For 27 years, we have launched the careers of hundreds of artists and over 125 new plays in our beloved jewel of a theater in the West Village. The Artistic Home Campaign is an investment in our artists and our community by making our space more accessible for all to gather and experience work that is brave, memorable, and impactful.

For a fully tax-deductible donation of $1,500, you can name a seat in our space — for yourself, or a beloved family member, or maybe even a childhood pet — and join Rattlestick's future as we support brave works and artists who are challenging the theatrical landscape.

Support New Works
In a time when opportunities for emerging artists are becoming scarcer by the year, Rattlestick is bravely expanding its capacity to nourish the growth of new works. From rehoming the Van Lier fellowship for BIPOC writers under 30, to co-creating the Terrence McNally Incubator, to commissioning some of today's most exciting new voices, Rattlestick is committed to the discovery and development of brave, untold stories. Your donation would help us support artists as they forge the future of American theater.
