As this crazy year finally draws to a close, we look ahead to a brighter future and turn to our interns. This season, we’ve been pleased to work with Robert Feffer, Wenkai Wang, and Sydney Wolfe, three recent college graduates who have been a continual source of fresh perspectives and embody the “difference” we’d like to see in the arts and in the world. Although Robert and Wenkai are leaving after three months of working with us and Sydney is saying goodbye in a few weeks, they will always be part of the Target Margin family. Sydney shares her grandmother’s recipe for Pumpkin Bread, great with coffee for a sweet breakfast or afternoon snack.

Target Margin is a small company and we rely upon our interns to help with all aspects of our daily operation and artistic production. Interns are given rigorous hands-on experience in theater production, office management, marketing, fundraising, and artistic creation. Find our more about our internship here.

This holiday season, the Target Margin family shares their special holiday recipes. Recipes for food — for celebration no matter where you come from — for looking ahead into the future. But the secret ingredient that we can’t do without is YOU. We depend on our staunch and generous donors bake the world a better place, to rise higher, to keep feeding the starter. Please consider giving a tax-deductible gift this season.
