THE ELEPHANT PLAY spotlight: Carissa Cordes

We’re thrilled to continue the creative team of The Elephant Play by Kelly O’Donnell with performer Carissa Cordes! Flux’s relationship with Carissa stretches back to the earliest Flux Sundays (at least 2008), and we’re delighted to reconnect with them. The questions are inspired by Kelly’s beautiful play—make sure to RSVP for the 6/27 and 6/28 readings in NYC!
