Based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Moving Target Theatre Company was founded in 2003 by Daniel Thau-Eleff to produce his work, first as an actor and since 2004 as a playwright, often in collaboration with director/dramaturg Chris Gerrard-Pinker.

Since 2004, Moving Target has produced exclusively original work, most of which can be described as "personal/political."

Moving Target's monologues, written and performed by Daniel Thau-Eleff, have toured around Canada and parts of the US.

Moving Target's multi-character plays have been performed in Winnipeg in a variety of venues, on a variety of themes, in a variety of styles: theatre with a moving target.
