WHAT WE ARE:

Moving Target Theatre partners with humanitarian and progressive organizations to bring theatre that engages the social issues of our times directly to the community.

We have no space of our own.

Our “theatre” consists of community centers, churches, mosques, synagogues, union halls and schools – the places where people gather to discuss and organize action around the issues that affect their lives.

WHAT WE DO:

Here is how we work:

We produce our plays in partnership with humanitarian and progressive organizations.

We then partner with community organizations to bring these plays directly to their communities.

If you’re interested in working with us on a theatre project that you would like to bring directly to your community, please contact us at movingtargettheatre@yahoo.com.

OUR CURRENT PRODUCTION:

"In Darfur" by Winter Miller (in partnership with Orange County for Darfur).

"In Darfur" is a contemporary examination of the unfolding tragedy of Darfur. An idealistic New York Times reporter risks everything to force that paper to highlight the Darfur story. But the telling the truth about Darfur increases the danger for everyone involved, leaving the audience on the edge of their seats and on the edge of the abyss.

"In Darfur" is directed by Michael Fox and features OShea Myles, Joseph Byrd, Lindsay Blackwell, Pat Payne, Solar Greye and Ruslan Janumyan. Erin Mullally, stage manager.
