Support Brooklyn Tavern Theater's 2025 Season!

Some of you have come to Brooklyn Tavern Theater productions for the last 5 years. Others of you have just met us. Welcome!

The Brooklyn Tavern Theater backstory:

Brooklyn Tavern Theater was launched in 2019 with a tavern production of Impossible But True at Franklin 820, a colorful bar in Crown Heights. No admission was charged. The keyboard was carried up to a balcony 10 feet above the bar and actors (with our director Cailín Heffernan) carved out a playing area in the center of the bar...

Since 2019, we have produced 4 new musicals in over 10 venues around New York City!

BTT Goals:

We aim to continue our mission of doing original music theater in local taverns and unconventional theater spaces. We also intend to promote the shows we have premiered more widely—in particular, The Joe Hill Revival—an inspirational story that takes up the early years of the American labor movement that we hope to share with a wider audience.

Walls and Windows is a new step for us--in the Fall of 2024 we constructed a set that can feature projections of Hopper's art behind the actors as an equal element with the staging and the music. We will be further developing this show in 2025.

Our fundraising goal is $5,000.

Because we have little overhead, we are able to do shows at a fraction of the price of larger theaters. But we still need outside funding to reach these goals. Help us reach new audiences in 2025 with original musical theater in Brooklyn and beyond!

Thank YOU for supporting new musical theatre in NYC!
