Our friends at Judson Memorial Church were interviewed by Martin Denton of nytheatre.com! It’s a great interview, and I was particularly struck by this one quote (slightly edited) from Michael Ellick: “The way we understand the gospel in our Christian tradition is not that our job is to evangelize in the sense of I’m trying…
(What is The Wider Frame?) Though Menders is a year away, it’s not to soon to be thinking of the ripple in the real world this play makes. This is especially true on a day where the Senate votes to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell; an act that connects directly with Menders‘ themes of conflict…
(What is The Wider Frame?) A play that deals so directly with our current Iraq war can’t help but be seen in the context of a wider frame. In producing Ajax in Iraq, we must do justice not only to the play itself, but to subject matter of the play, the lives of the soldiers…
(What is The Wider Frame?) It may seem that a post-apocalyptic vaudeville like Dog Act may not have a whole lot of real world resonance. But for a play of such wild imagining and comic invention, the painful and beautiful stuff of the real world runs through it. There are a number of ways we’ll…

Essential to that act is The Cart, a mobile…

Walls play a major role in all three plays of our Season 4: Don’t Look Away. In Dog Act, the legacy of a breach in a walled city defines the conflict. In Menders, we follow the arc of two student guards watching the wall of a post-apocalyptic city. In Ajax in Iraq, the walls are…
(Photo by Heather Cohn) Epic Thanks is the awesome initiative by Amy Sample Ward and Epic Change to create an online flood of gratitude – check out how you can participate here. Flux is getting in on the thankfulness, as we have a lot to be grateful for, and we want to spread the love…
On November 26, 2007, in our 6th post on the Flux Blog, I explained Flux Sundays, our then year old weekly workshop process. This process has undergone a subtle but important evolution, and it seems therefore important to post a revised explanation of just what, exactly, a Flux Sunday is and does. Flux Sunday is…
