Isaiah’s film is going to be on TV!

Wondering what to do until the benefit on April 14th? Wish you could see more of Isaiah? Well, who wouldn’t? So why not catch my television broadcast debut this Saturday night at 10:45 pm on PBS Channel Thirteen? “Window Shopping,” a short I starred in, was chosen as a finalist for this week’s “Reel 13”…

Racism in the United States: Seeing Things Not Just in Black and White

I am sorry to say that I am blogging about two shows that have already closed, but at least if you see a theatre presenting of one these, you’ll know to check them out for yourself. A few weeks ago, I caught the LAByrinth Theater Company’s production of Brett C. Leonard’s Unconditional, which ran at…

The Great God Brown, Columbia Stages

When I was a younger man oh hell let’s say when I was a boy, I loved Eugene O’Neill as a convert loves the polish of his new found religion, I was blind off the shine of him; my inclination to drink, already strong and stronger for wanting to lose myself in everyone else, found…

The Lifeblood, Phoenix Theatre Ensemble

The play is written by Glyn Maxwell, a poet, in heightened language.C. The play deals with the trial of Mary Stuart, in that endlessly interesting time…

Liberty City, New York Theatre Workshop

Rattler’s actor and friend Richard Watson and I took in Liberty City at New York Theatre Workshop on a Thursday or so ago, and I have been wanting to blog about it ever since. Thankfully, Aaron Riccio has said many of the wonderful things I’d like to say here. It is a lovely and hard…

Flux Sunday, February 24th

Directing at Flux Sundays can be a dangerous event. Why, if you’re not careful, Members like Cotton Wright might bring you to an organic beer and local foods bar in the East Village, tie you down to a chair on a stage, and then give your brains a thorough washing with her drill.

The Authentic Within Inauthentic Authenticity

Hypocrisy is a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass for virtue –Molière I know many of you who read this blog have been wondering, “Where are all the foxy females that are legendary to Flux?” I mean, we’ve all read entries from those irresistible studmuffins Jason, Joe, Gus and (sigh) Isaiah, but I think…

August: Schulenburg Osage County

Man, I’ve been wanting to make that joke since I saw the show almost two weeks ago, but I haven’t had a chance to sit down and write my thoughts. I will not write an extended critique of the production, which has already received more than enough coverage from writers far better, and more qualified,…

Daren Taylor and The Movement Company

I just received an email from Flux Sunday participant and friend Daren Taylor about two shows his company is putting on at Strawberry. This is exciting because I’ve known Daren as a great actor, writer and collaborator; but didn’t know he was also leading a company! To find out more information about The Movement Company,…
