Target Margin Theater, in association with The Brick, Brooklyn's destination for cutting-edge theatrical experience, has announced full casting for the early American play, The Moth and The Flame by Clyde Fitch written at the turn of the 20th Century and the final production in this year's Target Margin Laboratory at The Brick (575 Metropolitan Avenue, Brooklyn) where the company is in residence through November 20, 2010
Directed by Yuri Skujins, the cast features Will Badgett as Mr. Wolton, Jay Buol as Clergyman, Tonya Canada as Jeannette, Quinlan Corbett as Johnstone, Stephanie Eiss as Mrs. Wolton, Nadia Gan as Marion, Bret Haines as Douglas, Audrey Lorea as Kitty, Suzanne Lynch as Ethel, Michel Morin as Howes, Irungu Mutu as Fanshaw, Gita Reddy as Mrs. Lorimmer, Jay Smith as Dawson, and T. Ryder Smith as Fletcher.The Moth and The Flame, written in the late 19th century, is a relentlessly chatty and darkly comedic play that looks at the strivings-financial, social, and otherwise-of that era's plucky New Yorkers and their curiously modern concerns and timely dilemmas. A slice of New York life from over a century ago-replete with gossip, betrayal and shameful secrets.
This year's TMT Lab is a study of the company's nerve center, scanning the brain which created two decades of exciting diverse plays. What makes TMT tick? Veteran and neophyte Target Margin artists come together to study the pathological history of this downtown institution, investigating the varied interests that define the character of Target Margin Theater.
