Item Description

Two tickets to David Greenspan's show "Composition... Master-Pieces... Identity" in May/June 2015.  A solo show by OBIE-award-winning Greenspan playing with 3 texts by Gertrude Stein.

Playing at Connelly Theater, 220 E. 4th Street, New York, NY.

David Greenspan has been investigating the work of Gertrude Stein for years. In addition to his own work, David is a Target Margin Theater Associated Artist, and we couldn't think of a more natural fit than to include his one-man show, Composition... Master-Pieces... Identity, as a highlight of our Stein season.

About Target Margin Theater... 

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, we seek continuously to expand our conception of what can take place in a theater. Now in our 23rd season, we have created aggressively re-imagined versions of classics and new creations inspired by existing sources. Difference is the generative principle of everything we do.

When we program we gravitate toward plays or other literary material that is different from us; either it is from another cultural or historical context, or it is strange in language or content, or it is formally adventurous and challenges our received ideas about what a play is. This often means aggressively poetic writing like Gertrude Stein and Shakespeare; or music-theater or opera; or adaptations of non-dramatic sources. We hope that everything we do creates a different answer to the question, 'what is a play?'

Difference as a company principle not only defines the work we create but also positions us in our social context. We aggressively cast and staff our work with the broadest range of people. That means racial diversity has been a guiding principle from the start, but it is no less true of gender and age differences. We are proud that one way people identify a TMT show is our history of diverse casts and crews. It also means that as an artistic matter, we seek to give opportunities to people to work in new arenas. Our mainstage productions have given first jobs to designers straight out of grad school, to emerging directors, and to young actors just getting their union card; our Lab has nurtured hundreds of young artists. TMT is a place where new talent finds opportunity.

We are especially proud of the many artists we have inspired and fostered. TMT has had a significant impact on the field in New York and nationally by identifying, supporting and influencing a generation of new artists.
