St. Ann's Warehouse Finds New Home in Dumbo Brooklyn

The New York Times ArtsBeat reports that St. Ann’s Warehouse signed a new three year lease at 29 Jay Street in Dumbo. After getting the approval by The National Park Service to house St. Ann’s Warehouse to the Tobacco Warehouse in February 2011, the Federal District Court ruling stated that the National Park Service violated federal law by removing two historic landmarks from federally protected parkland, and therefore prevented St. Ann’s move to the Tobacco Warehouse. The availability of the 29 Jay Street space will keep St. Ann’s in Dumbo, at least for the next three years.

The highly acclaimed performances at St. Ann’s Warehouse will open in the fall of 2012 after leaving their current home of 11 years at 38 Water Street. Dumbo is fortunate to have St. Ann’s in its neighborhood and today, we find out that they will stay in Dumbo.

  • This is the best news that I have heard in a long time! As long time supporters of St. Ann’s, we are thrilled to hear that they will be staying in the neighborhood at least for the next three years.

    St. Ann’s consistently has some of the best productions in NYC and if you haven’t been to see one of their shows (or even if you haven’t been for a while) you owe it to yourself to go.

    St. Ann’s is a true cornerstone of DUMBO and I would like to congratulate and thank them for continuing to put DUMBO on the map as a destination for outstanding theater!

  • I bet Water Street Grill and Pub One will miss the traffic on show nights. Maybe this new location will spur development of new eateries/bars in this area of Dumbo-
