Target Margin Theater

A May staff outing like no other! Carousel? Ridden. Tripe? Eaten. Prada? Deviled. TMT Eats returns with an adventure to the Lower East Side and Chinatown. We started in the magical SeaGlass Carousel (@theseaglasscarousel ) in Battery Park. Then we strolled north to the iconic House of Joy (@houseofjoynyc ) to enjoy some delicious dim sum. How do you conclude a day like that? By seeing The Devil Wears Prada 2, OBVIOUSLY. All in all, a grand ol’ time with the team of Target Margin.

JUNE 5-7!💥Join us for our final weekend of events in the Doxsee before our Degenerate Art Now! season comes to a close. FOUR EVENTS with lots of community, extraordinary decadence, and celebration! More info at targetmargin.org or the link in bio ✨

Jesse Freedman brings us on a journey through the role of sound demon for This is Real! Working with the incredible sound design by David Herskovits, Jesse often plays the role of conductor in this ever-evolving piece. Want to know what that looks like on stage? You only have THREE more chances to find out. Final performances: Tonight @ 7:30 pm Tomorrow @ 3:00 pm & 7:30 pm Tickets at targetmargin.org or the link in bio

In This is Real, Scenic Designer Normandy Sherwood creates quilted tapestries of American tableaus; a shifting set of tassels and elegant fringe mixed with destruction to create both spectacle and decay. Through Normandy’s eyes, we see the beautiful intricacy of a set within a set, and are left feeling as though we have traveled through many worlds in one night..“The scenic design by Normandy Sherwood conjures a mutable environment that shifts from lurid intimacy to cavernous spectacle” says Tony Marinelli from Theatre Beyond Broadway. You have only 4 more chances to see This is Real and to witness the detail of Normandy’s creation.

Power! Sex! Rebellion! Nudity! Drones! Songs! Flag Burning! Murder! Resistance! 🇺🇸🔥✊🏽💥 We’ve given 24 performances of THIS IS REAL @targetmargin since March 1st. You have only 5 more chances!! Tonight through this Saturday, April 4th. After that, you missed it & you missed out. A new play loosely based on Jean Genet’s The Balcony (& more) and by life in the U.S. right now. “A fever dream that Genet would be proud of… This work, metaphoric and surreal as it is, is real, right down to skin and flesh. In our world, that’s revolutionary.” - Catherine Sawoski, The Brooklyn Rail “In Target Margin Theater’s THIS IS REAL, degeneracy takes many forms, but none are shameful. They are provocative, but they are also joyful and revolutionary.” - The Sunset Post $30 tix from Closing 4/4. Don’t miss this urgent entertainment! 🌈 💋💋 ✨Starring @cocodynamite @daddyhoofficial @_mari_lissa_ @merlinwhitehawk @queerlyfemmetastic @tansyburlesque @tiggerlesque @timikisals @zannahbooo 📸 by @canigetawhitney #nyctheatre #queertheatre #brooklyntheatre #nycburlesque #nycnightlife

Daddy Ho, Susannah MacLeod, and Merlin Whitehawk dive into that special sauce that makes This is Real shine: a perfect mix of the TMT process and a dedicated ensemble. See what they are talking about in our final week of shows! Thru April 4 in Sunset Park 😈🎉 Tix at targetmargin.org

In This is Real, Costume Designer Karen Boyer fully realizes the rapidly shifting roles of the cast in brilliant display. Karen reflects: “The costumes for This is Real are a collage referencing Genet’s towering platforms, the backstage at Venus 8, Storyville, or an unmarked Chelsea dungeon, gilets jaunes, real prison uniforms, subzero temperatures in Minnesota, and the real cast in the real rehearsal room.” Only five more chances to see Karen’s brilliant work on stage! 🎟️ thru April 4: targetmargin.org Photos by Whitney Browne Sketches by Karen Boyer

It’s our final week of performances‼️, and it feels as though we have been in a dream with this incredible team of collaborators. But…THIS IS REAL, and we cannot wait to welcome you all who have not yet visited the Doxsee this month. 😈 @brooklynrail agrees: “This work, metaphoric and surreal as it is, is real, right down to skin and flesh. In our world, that’s revolutionary.” “A fever dream that Genet would be proud of.” - Catherine Sawoski, The Brooklyn Rail Catch This is Real through April 4 ONLY!
