DEINDE Review: Matthew Taylor, BORO Mag

Photo by Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Rachael Hip-Flores, Isaiah Tanenbaum. Queens represent! Our stay in Long Island City has been a warm one, and Matthew Taylor’s review for BORO Mag is a welcome addition.  This quote is particularly pleasing: “The play, which is put on by Flux Theatre Ensemble, is engaging for its humor,…

DEINDE Response: Montserrat Mendez, Indie Theater Blog

DEINDE Response: Montserrat Mendez, Indie Theater Blog

Photo by Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Matthew Murumba. Post by August Schulenburg. This beautiful response to DEINDE by Mozz is the reason why I make theatre, pure and simple. The written play is as many rungs up the ladder as I can think and feel the story on my own. Then, the production team…

DEINDE Review: Charles Battersby, Theater for Nerds

DEINDE Review: Charles Battersby, Theater for Nerds

(Photo: Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Isaiah Tanenbaum, David Ian Lee, Rachael Hip-Flores.) Another sci-fi focused review! Charles Battersby gives a great review of the play, including a fun call-out on me missing another Star Trek opportunity (guilty). It is always refreshing when reviewers engage with the content of the play, rather than simply judge…

DEINDE Review: Mitch Montgomery, Backstage

Photo by Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Isaiah Tanenbuam, Rachael Hip-Flores, Matthew Trumbull, Nitya Vidyasagar, David Ian Lee, Ken Glickfeld We got our first negative review! When a play is as well received as DEINDE has been this far, it makes it much easier to engage with this kind of response. A negative review, when…

DEINDE Review: Doug Strassler, New York Press

Photo by Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: David Ian Lee and Alyssa Simon. Post by August Schulenburg. Doug Strassler is one of Flux’s oldest and most trusted reviewers, and it has been wonderful tracking his rise in stature. Currently, he’s reviewing for New York press, and he has a great review of DEINDE up –…

DEINDE Review: That Sounds Cool, Aaron Riccio

DEINDE Review: That Sounds Cool, Aaron Riccio

Our first review is out! Aaron Riccio, whose voice we missed at Menders, is back  (and happily reviewing at full steam again – recent months had seen his essential site, That Sounds Cool, on a bit of a seeming slow down). I would say it is mostly positive, with the cast and design team winning…

Jacob’s House Response: Michael Roderick, BroadwayWorld

(Photo: Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Jessica Angleskhan) How did we miss this? Producer Michael Roderick wrote about Jacob’s House as part of his Triple Threat Roundup on BroadwayWorld. Along with shout outs for Maeutic’s Barrier Island (aka, the show I’m going to kick myself most for missing) and (new to me) Active Theatre Company’s…

Jacob’s House Review: Doug Strassler, OffOffOnline

(Photo: Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Zack Calhoon, Anthony Wills Jr.) Doug Strassler’s review for OffOffOnline is up, and while he has reservations about the play, he recommends the production (and shouldn’t you take his advice, oh reader?) Doug is another critic highly valued by Flux, with Jacob’s House his third review of our work….

Jacob’s House Review: Patricia Contino, Flavorpill

(Photo: Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Matthew Archambault, Kelli Dawn Holsopple) Flavorpill’s review is out, and it is short but happily sweet! My favorite quote is easy, as the final two lines have it: “Combining a dysfunctional family with old-time religion and mythic America makes for rich metaphors and juicy theatre. Flux wrestled outside forces…

Jacob’s House Review: Laurence Klavan, The Jewish Daily Forward

(Photo: Justin Hoch @ jhoch.com. Pictured: Jane Lincoln Taylor) Every once in a awhile, you actually come close to that perfect review you wrote in your head to calm your nerves and help you sleep; it’s positive, of course, but more importantly, it makes you feel the whole of the play has been fully felt,…
