Target Margin Theater is aggressively inclusive. We are especially committed to an ethnically diverse cast. We also seek actors of all genders, sexualities, ages, physical abilities, and categories beyond what we know today!
Experience with classical drama is helpful. We are an experimental theater company and actors must be comfortable with unorthodox approaches and unusual treatment of text. We seek actors who are comfortable trying things without knowing why.
Older and younger MENASA, African American, Asian, and multi-ethnic actors are strongly encouraged to audition.
Please prepare a brief (not more than two minutes) monologue from any play written before 1938. Please bring your headshot and resume stapled together.

REMEMBER THIS TRICK
SYNOPSIS: REMEMBER THIS TRICK is an exploration of anti-semitism and survival in the face of oppression. Artists who join the project should be comfortable working with difficult material: conspiracy theories, white-supremacy, replacement theory, the holocaust. Performers who have their own personal experience and response to these issues are encouraged to audition.
This will be an ensemble play, created by the company. Cast members will need to be willing and ready to contribute to an open and inclusive process, and to adjust to the dynamic evolution of the piece. We will experiment with a broad range of material and devise a play created by the company.
We are seeking two actors (any gender) to join our principal ensemble. Actors will shift and share roles often, depending on the sections we choose for adaptation. As with any devised work, the shape of this will be largely determined by our collaborative process. All roles listed below will be doubled by members of the company.
Henry Ford: The celebrated American industrialist and anti-Semite. He is confident. Basha: an 80-year-old Jewish woman living in Venice CA in the 1970s. She is wise. Barbara Meyerhoff: the American-Jewish anthropologist. She is curious.
Werner Reich: a Jew who survived Auschwitz and learned a card trick there. He likes magic. Vashti: The Persian Queen from the Purim story.
Haman: Counselor to the Persian King from the Purim story.
