LeCompte is the co-founder and director of the Wooster Group, the experimental acting troupe that has been delighting and confusing audiences for nearly three decades. With its space at 30 Wooster Street since 1980, the tightly-knit Wooster Group has not just survived but thrived in underground theater for decades, despite rising rents and the commercialization of SoHo. Known for its weird casting choices, perhaps not surprisingly, one of the hallmarks of Wooster Group productions is audience members walking out in frustration or disgust. LeCompte hardly cares: as long as she incites controversy, she'll likely keep selling tickets.
