Michael Davis in Flux’s Life is a Dream I know Associate Member Michael Davis as a fine actor and a wonderful friend, but tonight I had the chance to see him as a director for the new musical comedy Chuck and Ginger Babcock are Thawed for Your Pleasure. The evening features a “famous” duet team…
On Friday the 21st I had the opportunity to see a preview Something You Did at Primary Stages, opening tonight. Without offering a review, there were several strong performances, and many good reasons to check out this play about the political wound of the 60’s and our difficulty in solving or salving that wound even…
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,…
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…

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…
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,…
Isaiah here again. Hi! So, if you’re like me (and lord knows, why wouldn’t you want to be?) you listen to NPR in the shower, and as a result you’ve been deluged with ads featuring Kathleen Turner‘s sultry contralto beckoning you to see Beth Henley’s “Crimes of the Heart” at Roundabout’s 6th Avenue space, the…
