Seeking actors/singers for reinvented Show Boat with Target Margin TheaterexpiredTarget Margin Theater

Description:DESCRIPTIONTarget Marign Theater is seeking actors who sing for our upcoming produciton Show / Boat: A River, based on the original 1927 piece by Hammerstein and Kern (See production description below for more details). Actors will be a part of a principle ensemble and will shift/share roles often, depending on the sections we choose for the adaptation. As with any devised work, the shape of this will largely be determined by a collaborative process. Experience with classical drama is helpful. We are an experimental theater and actors must be comfortable with unorthodox approachs and unusual treatment of text. Target Margin is aggressively inclusive and 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. BIPOC actors of all ages are encouraged to submit their materials - particulary Black actors who sing in a bass range. **If interested in the project, please email headshot and resume to [email protected] with subject as "Show Boat Submission." ** Production Description Based on the original 1927 piece by Hammerstein and Kern now in the public domain, SHOW / BOAT: A River is a revised and reinvented exploration of the American musical and the white supremacism that structures the famously unresolved piece. Artists who join the project should be comfortable working with difficult material: racism, white-supremacy, etc. Cast members should have their own personal experience and response to these issues. This will be a play with music, not a traditional musical, created collaboratively. We seek actors who are comfortable singing, though no particular training or vocal style is required, 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 the existing text and devise a play with music created by the company.
