THE ICEMAN LABS
By Eugene O’Neill

Target Margin Theater present THE ICEMAN LAB, our radical new approach to THE ICEMAN COMETH by Eugene O’Neill, with four diverse theater artists each tackling a separate act of the play. This fresh take on O’Neill’s classic will allow audiences to see each act as a separate experiment and / or all four acts together as a unified whole.
Act I
Lead Artist: Julia Sirna Frest
ACT I will turn Harry Hope’s saloon upside down for an all-out O’Neill sing-a-long song cycle. All 17 characters of The Iceman Cometh get their own chance to shine on stage.
Act I program
Act II
Lead Artist: Yuris Skujins
ACT II turns the stage into a birthday celebration for Harry Hope and the delirious booze-soaked souls that fill his bar.
Act II program
Act III
Lead Artist: Katie Rose McLaughlin
