ABOUT TMT

Target Margin Theater exists to change our shared culture, to remake the world as a more engaged, aware, and humane version of itself. Everything about our programs and activities flows from this.



We are a multi-OBIE Award-winning theater founded on the principle that works of art return us to real truths most powerfully by their divergence from a strict illustration of reality. We strive to energize the cultural landscape by producing and presenting innovative, experimental performances of classic plays, opera, literature and historical sources, continuously seeking to expand our conception of what can take place in a theater. ‘Difference’ is the generative principle of all we do – from reimagining the relationship between audience and performed event to the strong history of age, race, and gender diversity in our company – and is one of Target Margin’s most identifiable features. 



In 2017 we moved into our first ever performance home in Sunset Park Brooklyn. Service to the layered communities of our neighborhood has now grown into an anchor and focus of our work. We cultivate and nurture substantial relationships with many community partners, and we work to bring our artistic work into meaningful relationship with the city around us.
