Cast Announced for Pretty Theft

(This cool season poster above was created by Kelly O’Donnell for the Battle) We have a cast for our upcoming production of Pretty Theft, and it’s a great mix of Members, friends, and new folks.

Cotton Wright in Oberon Theatre Ensemble’s "Much Ado About Nothing"

FRAMESThis last Flux Sunday was the most powerful work we’ve done since our return from our Annual Retreat. We continued through Ten Black Boxes, Volleygirls, and We Are Burning; and also saw the 1st scene of Jeremy Basescu’s brand new play, The Will. The writing and the performances were all at an exciting level, as…

A Wonderful Wife, by Jeremy Basescu

On our Flux Sunday March 16th we completed working through Jeremy Basescu’s A Wonderful Wife. This was especially exciting because Jeremy (pictured to the left) was writing the play as we went along – one of the original goals of Flux Sunday was to serve as both spur and immediate gratification to plays in progress….

Flux Sunday. March 9th

PLAYING WITH POWERFlux Sundays has been growing steadily, and we have now had to change our invitation structure so that new folks come for three sessions only – giving us a chance to know them, and vice versa – with the potential of future revisits after all on the waiting list have had a chance….
