(What is Flux Sunday?) Our last Flux Sunday before The Lesser Seductions of History takes us over was great, if it nearly killed me getting us there! Sometimes, the amount of roles the playwrights write match perfectly with the attending actors; and then there are times where I have to write us into a balance….
Our first Flux Sunday at NYR Studios, where Flux is a resident company, was everything we’d been hoping for. We had room to move! Each of our three scenes had a comfortable space to work in, and the results were undeniable. There was a burst of energy and productivity that has me hoping this relationship…
(What is Flux Sunday?) We’re back! After a break in August for our 4th Annual Retreat at Little Pond and our Food:Soul of Volleygirls, we’re back for the month of September. We started with a more intimate crowd than usual, but that was lucky for me as I was the only playwright (beedle dee, deedle…
What is Flux Sunday? So much to catch up on! Have Another last night (it went well), a shout out for Infectious Opportunity (go see the extension), an update on the quality discussion and more NET unpacking. But for now, a quick update on our last Flux Sunday! BACK ON OUR FEET, BUT WOOZYThanks to…
What is Flux Sunday? While not quite the groove fest of last week, our last Flux Sunday before our short summer break was solid. We heard scenes from Johnna Adams, Jeremy Basescu, Mary Fengar Gail, myself and first time (as playwrights) Zack Calhoon and Anthony Wills Jr. Some Sundays, each play speaks to the other,…
What is Flux Sunday? Well, we had another one of those Flux Sundays where everything feels kind of right – the actors are on and the scripts are good – and there is a kinetic camaraderie that makes the hours sweep by. Playwright Aaron Michael Zook described this heightened state in the last scene of…
What is Flux Sunday? We’re back! And very happy to be back. Though we were a smaller, Memorial Day weekend crowd, the thrill of being back to work was strong. We read through three scenes: the end of Mary Fengar Gail’s The Usher’s Ball, the beginning of Jeremy Basescu’s Onion Amnesia, and a rewritten How…
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…
BLACK AND WHITE AND BLUEOur last Flux Sunday of 2008 was the most intimate we’d had in a while, and that combined with Michael’s delicious cookies gave the day a relaxed holiday air. We read a bunch of pages from Rob Ackerman’s Volleygirls and my 60’s play, and three delicious pages from Johnna Adam’s Lickspittles,…
ETUDES AND ATTITUDES Our post trilogy return to Flux Sunday was marked by stabs at virtuosity, some made, some missed. The first attempt was my own hope of staging the EIGHT scenes on our list all in three hours, an attempt that fell utterly short. But many others succeeded in honoring the patron saint of…
