Something there is that doesn’t love a wall, That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it, And spills the upper boulders in the sun, And makes gaps even two can pass abreast. Menders is inspired in part by “Mending Wall“, perhaps the most famous poem by that most American of poets, Robert Frost. Aimes (my character) recites…

And we are thrilled/ecstatic/super-psyched to be returning with Liz Duffy Adams’ (of Dog Act glory) play Wet, or Isabella the Pirate Queen Enters the Horse Latitudes. Not only does this Food:Soul features the…
We’re continuing our participation in the I AM THEATRE initiative launched by TCG with Member Isaiah Tanenbaum. If you haven’t already, be sure to also check out Carissa Cordes’ video. Isaiah auspiciously began his time with Flux by playing Gutty, the obese, single-minded deposed despot of an imaginary country in Rue. How to top that?…
Isaiah here with yet another overly-long, thoughtful-to-the-point-of-pedantry post. So, over at HowIRound there’s a very interesting piece by Lydia Stryk about this “theatricality” thing. You should definitely read the whole thing (and the comments, and the response at Parabasis, and the comments there), but here’s the money quote if you’re pressed for time: Theatricality in…
(What is Flux Sunday?) Our last Flux Sunday before we leave on our 6th annual retreat was our biggest yet, and it’s a shame to end that the momentum just as it was getting going (and yet, we’re glad to go). We also finished Perse and Viva Fidel, two plays developed entirely at Flux Sundays….
By August Schulenburg (What is Flux Sunday?) Our second Flux after the end of Ajax in Iraq was a roll-up-your-sleeves kind of day. We took on a ton of pages from Perse, reaching the climax of the play; we neared the end of Viva Fidel, and we moved towards the middle of Now Comes The…
(Photo: Anna Lamadrid. Pictured: Jelena Stupljanin, Jason Howard) New World Iliads was an interesting ForePlay series for Flux. On the one hand, our benefit that kicked off the series was well-attended, and represented a high water mark for quality in the series. The two that followed were both strong artistically, but due to the overwhelming…
(What is Flux Sunday?) Playwrights: David Ian Lee (The Curing Room) Actors: Ken Glickfeld, Jane Taylor, Matthew Archambault, Isaiah Tanenbaum, Kari Riely, Brian Pracht. This was a very different Flux Sunday. One playwright, one play, no directors, two laptops, and an iPad 2 (no trees were harmed in the making of this Flux Sunday). This…
Our next installment of Have Another is Wednesday the 6th from 7PM-10PM. We’ll be returning to the friendly confines of Jimmy’s #43, located downstairs at 43 East 7th Street between 2nd and 3rd Ave. There is no cover, just some of our favorite scenes from Flux Sunday shared over drinks with friends. I’m especially excited…
(Photo by Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Mike Mihm and surprise cameo artist Jane Lincoln Taylor) It was good to have another Have Another! In spite of the holiday and cold weather, we had a big warm house to share scenes from Ever Ever, Sacrifice, and Denny and Lila. To learn more about the artists and scenes…
