Volleygirls, the day after

The event went really well! Thanks to everyone who made the trek on a grey day to support our work and share in Rob Ackerman’s Volleygirls. Our extreme staged reading was a whirlwind process, but we landed in a good place, and thanks to the commitment of the cast, the reading captured a little of…

A special Food:Soul serves up Volleygirls

Flux is thrilled to be presenting a staged reading of Rob Ackerman’s Volleygirls as the next installment of our potluck play reading series, Food:Soul. We’ve helped develop this play over the past months, and were so thrilled to see it produced at A.C.T. We very much hope you’ll join us Sunday, August 9th at 4:00…

Flux Sunday, January 11th

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…

Flux Sunday, December 14th

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,…

Flux Sunday, December 7th

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…

Flux Sunday, October 5th

This was the last Flux Sunday before the trilogy began, and again, it was a full three hours, with scenes from Rob Ackerman’s Volley Girls, Johnna Adam’s Lickspittles, Buttonholers and Damn Pernicious Go Betweens, Jeremy Basescu’s The Will, Mary Fengar Gail’s Beggar At The Feast, and my own 60’s play. Over two months later, I…

Flux Sunday, September 28th

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…

Flux Fusion, December 2nd, 08

One of the definitions of our mascot word is (according to Merriam-Webster) a substance used to promote fusion, and that definition is being handily twisted here to tout the work of companies friendly to Flux (or those whose friendship we’re courting!) Also, I’ve always appreciated the Night Planner over at Superfluities and Aaron’s What Sounds…
