Well, a lot has happened since our last rehearsal report. The biggest news is that we needed to replace our extradordinary Martha, DeWanda Wise. Though DeWanda had to drop the show, we all still adore her and look forward to working with her at every opportunity. Those of you who saw her in Volleygirls or…
I am thrilled to congratulate Stolen Chair Theatre Company on their winning The Field’s ERPA Award, which includes a $20,000 grant! Beyond the simple joy of seeing an Indie company snare such a prestigious (an economically useful) award, I’m excited because I love this idea and have been advocating for a Fluxy version of this…

So we’ve moved into rehearsal time, which, (as you probably know), is also the time where we most need your help. We’ll be swimming in all of the necessary work to make The Lesser Seductions of History as beautiful and vital as possible; just at the time when we also need to market the show…
(Looking for tickets to Lesser Seductions?) Rehearsals began this weekend for The Lesser Seductions of History. Usually, I have a moderate to high level of panic as rehearsals begin, but this weekend (I say with great caution out of fear of jinxing things) went really well.

First, thank you to everyone for the great comments and shout–outs about this idea. A lot of helpful questions and suggestions were raised, and it seems like there’s a genuine hunger for some version of the Indie Theatre Repertory idea.

Flux is about to be slammed by rehearsals beginning for The Lesser Seductions of History, so now is the time for us to get in our shout-outs for all the other great shows happening in (holy smokes it’s) October. The Dark Heart Of Meteorology features the sound design of our own IT-Award winning Asa Wember,…
