• Big Green Theater (BGT) is a new environmental education program developed by The Bushwick Starr theater.

    Our performance venue serves the neighborhood of Bushwick, Brooklyn- a vibrant and diverse community that is currently lacking in environmental education. Our theater is committed to being a part of community environmental awareness, and this program is our way of actively working toward change through a creative and interactive process. With BGT, we are introducing a new model for arts spaces to provide community-driven green initiatives that serve a global cause.

    Please read about the project details on our "About the Program" page.
