Special information for theater and production companies seeking a rental venue:

Both of our theaters are unavailable Friday and Saturday nights throughout the season (Sept-May) due to our own production schedule. We offer our annual summer series as an opportunity to showcase other talent, and we may occassionally bring in outside groups to perform during the season. To qualify for a house-split style performance rental, groups must demonstrate strong self-promotion and marketing ability, as the BNW generally does not promote external companies the way more traditional "rental houses" do. We also are unable to offer specialized lighting or sound plots, and there is literally no backstage space for set, prop, or costume creation or storage. If you are interested in applying for performance rental, please contact info@bravenewworkshop.com.
