The Wooster Group, Artist collective in SoHo, Manhattan, United States.

The Wooster Group is an artist collective in Manhattan that creates experimental theater productions with multimedia integration. The ensemble combines live performance with video projections, recorded sound, and inventive staging designs to layer multiple experiences into each show.

The Wooster Group emerged gradually from Richard Schechner's The Performance Group (1967–1980) between 1975 and 1980, taking its name in 1980; the independent productions of 1975–1980 are retroactively attributed to it. Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte, it launched the careers of actors including founding member Willem Dafoe. Its home is the Performing Garage at 33 Wooster Street in SoHo.

The ensemble remixes classical texts by playwrights such as Shakespeare, Chekhov, and O'Neill, transforming them through video art and recorded sound into performances that feel entirely contemporary. Audiences encounter familiar stories presented in ways they would never expect in a traditional theater.

The Performing Garage at 33 Wooster Street, between Grand and Broome Streets in SoHo, is the company's home and where all its work has been created and performed. The building is reached on foot from the nearby subway stops; the entrance sits at street level beneath the brick facade. Check the company's listings before travelling, since performances are not continuous and touring takes the ensemble abroad.

The company's name comes from Wooster Street, where its Performing Garage home sits between Grand and Broome in SoHo. The building is a former metal shop, and the group has staged all its work there. Its 1985 National Endowment for the Arts Ongoing Ensembles Grant was one of the awards that sustained the ensemble.
