Target Margin Theater to kick of ‘The Nonsense Lab’ in September

The 2026-2027 season at the Target Margin Theater begins on Sept. 17 with The Nonsense Lab, a three-week performance festival of new work that explores the theme of Nonsense, this according to an Aug. 18 press release.

The Nonsense Lab includes three performances: Let Me Be an Animal, a dance by choreographer Caroline Fermin, “celebrating the slow, awkward, sweaty, and questioning parts of ourselves”; We’ll Jump Off That Bridge When We Get There, a five-person performance about politics, pop culture, and history by Target Margin’s Associate Artistic Director Adam M. Kassim; and toy theater creator/puppeteer Kathleen Kennedy Tobin‘s The Charnel House, a puppet show that explores memories of past lives in New York City.

“The work of Caroline, Adam, and Kathleen epitomize our Lab Festival’s purpose. Each will respond to the idea of Nonsense in their own ways, to create vividly diverse works, and each work will expand what our audiences think the term can mean. The person who can experience all three, along with our one-time events in music and performance, will enjoy an event much greater than the sum of its parts. That’s our mission. Whatever you think, think different,” Target Margin Theater Artistic Director David Herskovits said in the press release.

The Nonsense Lab runs Sept. 17-Oct. 3, offering three productions, each for six performances, and three one-night events at Target Margin Theater’s The Doxsee (232 52nd St., Brooklyn). Tickets, which start at $20, are now on sale at www.targetmargin.org.

At ‘A Few of Each,’ Gowanus artists capture a neighborhood in flux

In some cultures, there’s a belief that death comes not when your heart stops beating, but when you’re forgotten. To remember something is to keep it alive, even if only in your heart. That idea is the key to A Few of Each, the collection of cityscape art currently on display at Gowanus Wine Studio on 3rd Avenue. The exhibition

Vincent Coppola on ‘Gowanus Crossing’

I first met Vincent Coppola in 1961 when we were high school freshmen at St. Augustine High School on Park Place in the Slope. After a career in journalism and some notable books, he’s now ensconced in Savannah, a city which, like Vinny, acknowledges the presence of ghosts. The interview has been edited to leave out the boring bits. Full

People of Red Hook: August 2026

This is New York City, but today nobody’s rushing. People are lollygagging down the streets while the 95-degree heat penetrates their bones. So it’s not too hard to get them to stop and talk to me about their relationships with their phones—the very phones that most of them are staring into before our conversations begin.   Christopher Loyd: I’m trying to
