But, I will make up for it by including a pic & deets from our last SpeakEasy, which happened after Flux Sunday on the 13th. Playwrights: Katherine Burger (The Rainy…
Post and pathetic iPhone photos by August Schulenburg. (What is Flux Sunday?) Flux Sunday returned after our long Hearts Like Fists and holiday hiatus! With Judson not available, we had to read scenes instead of staging them, which, while not quite as satisfying, was still a great reckoning in a little room. Playwrights: Katherine Burger…
(Post by August Schulenburg. Photo by Isaiah Tanenbaum). What a year! 2012 was a FULL year for Flux Theatre Ensemble, and an absolutely joyful year for me as a creative partner of Flux. Our mission is to build a creative home for artists and audiences, and we are so deeply grateful to all the extraordinary…

Post: August Schulenburg) Doug Strassler is another trusted Flux critic, so it is simply wonderful to read this glowing review in the New York Press. I particularly liked this quote: And remarkably, despite the many crafty ways in which director Kelly O’Donnell has replicated a comic book…
(Photo by Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Rachael Hip-Flores, Aja Houston, Becky Byers. Post by August Schulenburg) Will Kenton’s reviews are always notable for their depth, but his review of Hearts Like Fists for Cultural Capitol is especially notable for its verbal playfulness, capturing the style of the play itself.

I was worried when he ended up attending on Wednesday, one of our more sparsely attended shows, and on a night that ended…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Doctor X. Post: August Schulenburg) I got a lot out of Natalie Zutter’s thoughtful review of DEINDE on Tor, but wondered what she would make of Hearts Like Fists, a play of decidedly more comic intentions? Happily, she digs it, and brings some fascinating comic context to her review: The mood…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Chester Poon, Jennifer Somers Kipley. Post: August Schulenburg) I think this review, by Mark Lord of the hometown team Queens Chronicle, wins for the best title: “Oh, the dangers of love…and doughnuts”. Citing our Core Value of Joy listed in the program, he thankfully finds the experience, well, joyful. (Also, I’ve…

Post: August Schulenburg) No matter how hard you fight against it, the New York Times continues to exert an outsized influence on the minds of theatre makers, myself included. A great review in the Times doesn’t lead to a sudden burst of…

Having fallen way behind on my blog responses to reviews, I can tell those just tuning in that Jonathan Mandell’s review for Backstage is so far the worst of the lot, and it’s not bad…
