“And the best way to lighten your burden is to share it with someone else…thinking about the pandemic as a portal, if nothing else, it made me realize how much people need each other in whatever ways we can be there for each other.” –Portal Project

That quote is a powerful articulation of Flux’s work: being there for each other, and telling stories that remind us how much we need each other. Our mission to grow creative kinship took major steps forward in 2025, from welcoming seven new Creative Partners to crossing the milestone of developing more than 500 plays. As we approach our 20th Anniversary Year, we’re doubling down our commitments to collective care, long-term artistic collaboration, and shared power.  Can you make a meaningful tax-deductible donation to support our work in 2026?

This past year has been one of abundance. From the immersive installation of Portal Project to the devised movement piece The Elephant Play to the practical creativity of The Go Bag Plays, Flux continued to expand our Aesthetic of Liberation. Amid the industry wide decline in new play development, programs like Core Work and our Annual Retreat supported 29 new works in FY2025, bringing us over 500 projects developed in Flux’s history. 

Yet no milestone was more significant than welcoming our seven new Creative Partners: Miranda Holliday, Julianna Kantor, Montserrat Mendez, Kristen Palmer, Chester Poon, Adam Szymkowicz, and Justin Woo. Together, they bring our intergenerational Creative Partnership to twenty-two people, collectively leading Flux forward. In a time where power increasingly flows into fewer and fewer hands, can you support Flux’s bold investment in shared leadership at fluxtheatre.org/give?

With your support, we can bring our exciting 2026 slate of projects to life, including:

• Fear & Wonder, by Jason Tseng, will receive a world premiere full production in June 2026. In this forbidden love story, Jabez and Ryan, two boys of color, navigate a Christian summer camp together in the early 2000s. 
• Portal Project, an immersive installation and ritual performance that imagines a world where the pandemic never happened, returns in March 2026 to build on 2025’s successful workshop with a fully realized experience. 
• Creative Emergence, an art crawl meets high school science fair meets block party, will host a full-day exhibition of creations and experiences generated by our theatre+ community.
• Workshops of new works by our Creative Partners, including Miranda Holliday, Montserrat Mendez, Kristen Palmer, and Adam Szymkowicz, will be announced soon. 

While diverse in form, genre, and theme, these works all embody Flux’s mission of creating “the worlds we need, an act of play at a time”—but we can’t do it without you. Please give today to fund our upcoming season. Whether $25 or $5,000, every gift strengthens our collective power to reimagine the worlds we need—and as a 501c3 organization, your contributions to Flux are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. 

Thank you for believing in the liberatory power of theatre and for helping Flux thrive as we head toward our 20th anniversary season.  

With gratitude and care,
