Flux Sunday, September 27th

(What is Flux Sunday?) Our last Flux Sunday before The Lesser Seductions of History takes us over was great, if it nearly killed me getting us there! Sometimes, the amount of roles the playwrights write match perfectly with the attending actors; and then there are times where I have to write us into a balance….

Flux Sunday, September 20th

Our first Flux Sunday at NYR Studios, where Flux is a resident company, was everything we’d been hoping for. We had room to move!

Flux Sunday, January 11th

ALL CYLINDERS CLICKING Every once in a while, Flux Sundays will have a lightening strike day.

Food:Soul #2, This Storm Is What We Call Progress

“A Klee painting named ‘Angelus Novus’ shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one perceives the angel of history. His face is towards the past. Where we perceive a…

Flux Sunday, March 16th

ALONE AND TOGETHEROne of our most exciting and well-executed Flux’s that I can remember, our work together on the 16th seemed to coalesce around themes of aloneness and togetherness. Those themes were especially lovely and unsettling in Johnna Adams’ play Oneida, Servants of Motion, about the Perfectionist communist christian utopian community that thrived for 33…
