(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Raushanah Simmons, Michael Davis) Karen Tortora-Lee’s review for The Happiest Medium is up, and I absolutely love her description of the actors as acrobats: Watching the Flux Theatre Ensemble bring August Schulenburg’s “The Lesser Seductions of History” to life is like watching seasoned acrobats performing an intricate, balletic routine;…
(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Jason Paradine, Candice Holdorf, Matthew Archambault) Doug Strassler’s review from Show Business Weekly is out, and I was especially happy that he noticed the sibling chemistry between Jason Paradine and Matthew Archambault as Barry and Bobby Tanner: Meanwhile, both Bobby and his brother, Barry, find themselves haunted by their…

Pictured: Ingrid Nordstrom, Kelly O’Donnell, Isaiah Tanenbaum, Jake Alexander, Jason Paradine, Christina Shipp, Michael Davis) I read Aaron Riccio’s review late last night after coming home from a second rough night at the theatre. This review saved me a little, especially because of this quote: There are moments where Schulenburg…
Adina Levin has a fascinating post building on a theory of Dave Weinberger’s called The End of Information, The Return of Conversation. In it, Adina persuasively argues that Information – who has it, who doesn’t, and how it is distributed – is no longer the primary mover of our culture. Now it is Conversation, through…
(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Ingrid Nordstrom, Kelly O’Donnell) I am so moved by Sean Williams’ response to The Lesser Seductions of History. One of the artist/producers behind Gideon Productions (Viral, Universal Robots, Hail Satan), his opinion means a great deal to me. My favorite quote from his post brings the action of the…

Hicks-Wright. pictured: Tiffany Clementi, Michael Davis, Jake Alexander, Isaiah Tanenbaum) It was because of Patrick Lee (and fellow Fluxer Kelly O’Donnell) that I decided to see David Cromer’s Our Town. His review and recommendation in passing convinced me to make time for a play I thought I wouldn’t like. At a…

Pictured: Cast, Candice Holdorf) Ethan Stanislawski’s review at Tynan’s Anger is out, and it gives a great analysis of the over all arc of the play and decade that inspired it. I also appreciate his citing of Our Town and Universal Robots as plays that influenced Lesser Seductions –…

(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Jake Alexander, Isaiah Tanenbaum, Christina Shipp, Tiffany Clementi, Jason Paradine) Wendy Caster is a reviewer new to me, so I was thrilled to read her review yesterday, and then bump into her at Liz Duffy Adam’s Or,! I look forward to hearing her take on that romp of a…
(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Ingrid Nordstrom, Christina Shipp) The first review is out, and it’s a good one, drawing on Our Town (a clear ancestor for the play), the history of the 1960’s and our past production of Pretty Theft. An example: The Flux Theatre Ensemble is known for ambitious productions. Their superb…
