Target Margin Theater boosts careers of up and coming artists
A groundbreaking theater company that created a great deal of excitement in Brooklyn’s artistic community when it moved from Manhattan to Sunset Park last year is seeking to cement its standing in the borough by moving forward with its residency and fellowship programs to help up and coming artists.
Target Margin Theater, which moved into its new home at 232 52nd St. in 2017, announced this week the artists that it will be supporting this year in its incubator LAB festival, its five-year-old fellowship program, and its new artist-in-residency program.
The fellowship program, known as the Target Margin Theater Institute, is a yearlong fellowship that offers five talented artists space to work, artistic support, and a $1,000 stipend. The 2018 Institute Fellows are Thomas Bane, Nelson T. Eusebio III, Noelle Ghoussaini, Sierra Ortega and Normandy Raven Sherwood.
Another project that provides support for artists, the new Target Margin Theater Residency Program, seeks to offer mid-career and emerging talents up to 100 hours of rehearsal space for free.
