Rattlestick Productions Inc.

Mission

Rattlestick Theater has been steadfast in producing diverse, challenging, and provocative plays while fostering the future voices of the American theater. Now led by Artistic Director Will Davis, the first transgender person to run an off-Broadway theater, we are proud to make Rattlestick a place that is focused on energetic theater that responds to the complexities of our culture in conversation with community partners. Our mission is to produce ambitious plays to inspire empathy and provoke conversation that will lead to positive social change.

Vision

We believe that in order to develop adventurous plays that redefine the theatrical form, artists and theatermakers must have the time, space, and resources to investigate their own artistic process. Rattlestick aims to distinguish itself as a theater dedicated to well-resourced productions with long, process-driven timelines. To this end, Rattlestick has developed a five-year plan to shift away from developmental scarcity and toward a radical distribution of resources for the theatrical projects we aim to produce, by attuning our process to flexibly meet the needs of each individual artist. We want to give artists the space to experiment, and then listen and respond with action and strategy. This plan threads throughout all of our programming, ensuring that everything we do is in service of our mission.
