Rattlestick Playwrights Theater
The mission of Rattlestick Playwrights Theater is to present diverse, challenging, and provocative plays that may otherwise go unseen and to support the future voices of the American theater. Rattlestick, uniquely, guarantees a second production to any playwright they take on, regardless of the reception of the first.
