St. Ann's Warehouse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Ann's Warehouse is a performing arts institution in Brooklyn, New York City. It began when the St. Ann's and the Holy Trinity Church on Montague Street was converted into a venue for classical music in 1980.[1] Initially known as Arts at St. Ann's, proceeds from the stage's performances were used to aid in renovating the building.[2]

In 2000 it relocated to a former spice milling factory in Dumbo, Brooklyn,[2] where it has served as a stage for musicians such as David Bowie, Lou Reed, Joe Strummer, Aimee Mann, Nick Cave, Rufus Wainwright and John Cale.[3] Theatrical shows have included the Bertholt Brecht/Kurt Weill musical The Seven Deadly Sins, starring Marianne Faithfull.[3] The current building can accommodate audiences of up to 1500 people.[2]
St. Ann's Warehouse moved to the historic Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn Bridge Park in 2015.[4]
