Target Margin Theater was founded in 1991 by David Herskovits on the principle that works of art return us to real truths more powerfully by their divergence from a strict illustration of reality. Through classic and contemporary texts, TMT continuously seeks to expand the conception of what can take place in a theater.
This year’s edition of The TMT Lab: NEWS OF THE STRANGE commissions new works by emerging artists exploring rarely seen stories from The One Thousand and One Nights and early Medieval Arab fantasies.
The lead artists featured are Leyya Tawil, The Million Underscore (Nicolas Norena & Timothy Scott), and Moe Yousuf.
Friday, June 7 at 8 pm
Saturday, June 8 at 8 pm
Tickets start at $20 for one performance and a Lab Pass, to see all three artists' performances, is $45.

Hear from a community of artists and designers that use the biology lab as their studio.

What is the role of care and experimentation? And what future can we envision or create in the lab?
