The Wooster Group, Artist collective in SoHo, Manhattan, United States.
The Wooster Group generates theater productions at the Performing Garage, incorporating multimedia elements, live performances, and technological innovations into their presentations.
Founded in 1975 by Elizabeth LeCompte and Spalding Gray, the group emerged from Richard Schechner's The Performance Group and established its permanent base at 33 Wooster Street.
The ensemble transforms classical texts from playwrights like Shakespeare, Chekhov, and O'Neill into contemporary performances using video art and recorded sound techniques.
The theater company maintains a core membership of 16 performers and 29 associates who develop productions through extensive rehearsal periods at their SoHo location.
Each production combines personal narratives with existing theatrical works, creating multilayered performances that merge traditional storytelling with experimental staging methods.
