General Manager - Target Margin Theater

Our vibrant and growing company seeks a General Manager to nurture the next phase of our growth. Over 26 years, Target Margin Theater (TMT) has become known as a leader in adventurous theatrical experimentation in downtown New York City. We recently moved into a new home, a 7,400 square-foot raw industrial space in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and have begun planning our next phase of production, artistic nurturing, and outreach. Real experience in arts administration is essential, whether in the workplace or in a training program. An adventurous artistic sensibility is also important.



The General Manager will work under the Artistic Director and Artistic Producer and will have responsibility for all phases of the company’s administration: Company Management, Facility Management, Fiscal Management, and Production Management. They will supervise subordinate staff in these areas, but must also be willing to roll up their sleeves and get the job done as necessary. Our General Manager will also have a special role in nurturing relationships in our new neighborhood, Sunset Park.



This is a full time position with some nights / weekends required. Salary is $40,000 a year, plus benefits. Target Margin is especially committed to diversity in the workplace and we strongly encourage applicants of color, and of different ages and abilities.



Target Margin Theater is an OBIE Award-winning company founded in 1991 by Artistic Director David Herskovits. We continuously strive to expand the concept of what can take place in a theater, creating aggressively reimagined versions of classic texts and new plays inspired by existing sources. Difference is the generative principle of everything we do at TMT, from the work we develop to our office structure. From our inception we have sought ‘difference’ in our company makeup, and our practice of age, gender, and racially diverse casting. For more info visit: www. targetmargin.org
