"Pushing the boundaries of experimental theatre, targetmargin puts progressive ideals into practice."
"Target Margin Theater is a wonderful independent and smart theater company in the Sunset Park neighborhood that provides an inclusive and engaging environment for artists and patrons alike. I love working with them and I'm grateful for the art they produce."
"Target margin is a bold, daring company always making exciting choices producing interesting material. Typically a natural result of such audacious endeavors would conclude that some productions would fail miserably after all if you want to please everyone a good play is easy. But if you want to amaze anyone you will most likely be to some unconventional, you will sometimes produces work that some find offensive, you will most likely find yourself asking “is this brilliant or disastrous?” You will sometimes never get an answer. Somehow Target Margin is also lucky (or perhaps I’m lucky?) although I haven’t seen every production the ones I have seen have been absolutely brilliant and are amongst some of my favorite theatrical experiences. Highlights were both the Gertrude Stein series and Tennessee Williams. It’s amazing that they continue to be fresh and evolving always leaving me very pleased. I’m extremely interested in seeing the current production which some reviews have left me wondering if perhaps it has missed the mark in some areas. if that is the case I believe it is the price you pay when striving for brilliance you simply cant win them all. Nonetheless as an audience member I always find a brilliant failure much more exciting than a successfully executed mediocrity but I will leave that till after I’ve seen the show."
"A bit of a hike but offers a very cool theater experience."
"So, I went to see Pay No Attention to the Girl. I found this play to be interesting in its presentation of some things, but offensive. I felt like the play was making a farce of Arabic culture and partially Islam. It really bothered me when they started a lot of the scenes with "prayers." The play was comedic, and I felt that by using actual prayer words, it was making fun of what those words actually meant. Those words used as a 'transition' to mark the beginning and end of things should not have been a transition. Those words mean something; they should not be used as something to add to the presentation and look of a play to satisfy the directors perspective. The makeup I also found to be extremely stereotypical. As an Arab immigrant, the portrayal of Arabs was one in which we are portrayed not very realistically. As the staff had said, the play is meant to be something for fun, unfortunately, without realizing its satirical nature could be stereotypical. It was noted that the play did not have a specific setting or theme. However, as culture and Islam are inevitably intertwined, I can say that the play did not meet my expectations, and I left feeling disheartened."
