Flux Sunday, September 4th

(What is Flux Sunday?) If the previous Sunday was the Flux of the actors, this Sunday was the Flux of the playwrights – as many strong pages as we’ve seen in a long time, and despite my best attempts, we simply could not stage them all.

Flux Sunday, July 24th

(What is Flux Sunday?) Our last Flux Sunday before we leave on our 6th annual retreat was our biggest yet, and it’s a shame to end that the momentum just as it was getting going (and yet, we’re glad to go). We also finished Perse and Viva Fidel, two plays developed entirely at Flux Sundays….

New World Iliads

So far as I can tell,…

But it ended up being a really satisfying evening, with…

Flux Sunday, August 8th

What is Flux Sunday? Yes, I know, I owe you reports from from 7/11 and 7/18. But I’d like to start a new trend of blogging about Flux Sunday immediately afterwards, so all those who atteneded can chime in with thoughts, before time steals them. Playwrights: Johnna Adams (Nurture), Zack Calhoon (Obamaville), James Comtois (McTeague),…
