About The Wooster Group
The Wooster Group is an ensemble of artists who collaborate on the
development and production of theater and media pieces. Since the early
1970's, The Wooster Group has played a pivotal role in bringing technically
sophisticated and evocative uses of sound, film, and video into the realm of
contemporary theater.

The Wooster Group Members
The Wooster Group's members are Jim Clayburgh, Willem Dafoe, Spalding Gray,
Elizabeth LeCompte, Peyton Smith, Kate Valk, and Ron Vawter. Under the
direction of LeCompte and with its associates and staff, the Group has
created and performed all of its theater pieces at their home base, The
Performing Garage, in the Soho district of New York City. The Group's
repertory has toured widely in the US and Europe, as well as to Asia,
Australia, Canada, and South America.
Note: Wooster Group member Ron Vawter died April 16, 1994.

Endowment, State Arts Council, and the City Department of Cultural Affairs
grants. In 1991, the Group was awarded a Village Voice Obie, recognizing 15
years of sustained excellence. That same year, Director Elizabeth LeCompte
