ALL CYLINDERS CLICKING Every once in a while, Flux Sundays will have a lightening strike day. All the scripts are tight, the actors connect with the roles, and each scene passes some essential undroppable thing to the next. It doesn’t happen often, but boy did it happen on January 11th, and with all of us…
Yes, I’ve been a wee bit derelict in posting about our Flux Sunday activities – trilogies will do that to you. And I know that somewhere in the first half of the year, a Flux Sunday went unreported on this blog, a victim to this swiftly tilting 2008. Sometimes this blog feels like the Buendia…

I was lucky enough to catch my friend (and Associate Member of Flux) Christina Shipp as Perdita in The American Globe Theatre’s The Winter’s Tale a few weeks ago. This is one of Shakespeare’s most beautifully written, yet enigmatic plays, shifting from desperate tragedy to pastoral comedy in the blink of a bear. As Perdita,…
SUNDAYS ARE FOR ENDINGS Due to the chaos of casting, this particular Sunday was more disorganized than any in recent memory. But in spite of that, it held a particular power, as both Trying and Honey Fist played out their last scenes. HOW NOT TO BE SEDUCED BY YOUR OWN CHARACTERSOne of the problems I…
FLEX IS FLUXIBLEEr…strike that, reverse it.But as our mission statement plainly states, we do value the multi-faceted theatre artist.
