(What is Flux Sunday?) After two weeks off (one for Thanksgiving, one for NET’s Micro-Fest), we returned to our trusty Flux Sunday back-up at 520 8th ave. That meant reads around the table, which, while not as fun as playing on our feet, does give us the opportunity to read more pages. And they were…
Readers of this blog may remember the profound impact the 2009 Network of Ensemble Theatre’s Conference had on the thinking of myself and fellow attendee Heather Cohn. So we were thrilled to attend Micro-Fest LA, NET’s mini-conference on new play development in Los Angeles from December 3rd-5th. It was indeed a jam-packed 3 days –…
Our friends at Judson Memorial Church were interviewed by Martin Denton of nytheatre.com!

In our upcoming production of Liz Duffy Adams’ Dog Act, the most important set piece is on wheels. Zetta and Dog are “vauders”, performers traveling through a post-apocalyptic wild to reach (a mythical?) China, where their act will finally reach an audience of more than scavengers. Essential to that act is The Cart, a mobile…
