Dog Act Review: Joshua Bambino, Theatre Is Easy

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenabum. Pictured: Liz Douglas, Becky Byers) Our first review is out! Not a moment too soon, as our all-too-short run is nearing its midway point at frightening speed. Joshua Bambino’s positive review on Theatre Is Easy is a great read, and he asks some interesting questions about the balance of naturalism and heightened…

Audience Response to DOG ACT

(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Chris Wight) This is an open thread for our community of artists and audience to respond to Dog Act. We have tried this for both The Lesser Seductions of History and Jacob’s House, and the comments were very insightful. When you see the show, please take a moment…

First things first: if you haven’t already purchased your tickets, you can do so here, and use the code “FUGHAT” for $14 tickets for shows on the 6th,…

The Facebook Yes

How much is a Facebook Event Attending worth in real butts-in-seats terms? With advance ticket sales rarer than ever, perhaps you find yourself (as I often do) refreshing your Event, hoping to see those precious number rise. But is a Yes on Facebook equal to a Yes in life? Though not big/wide enough for a…

Two More Interviews

Due to the nigh-on wild acclaim for the ground-breaking post, Two Interviews, I link now to two more interviews, because, well, there are two new Flux-related interviews in the world. First up, Dog Act actress Becky Byers, she of People of the Year and Exploding Moments fame, continues to soar like a veritable air minion…

Have Another #5 Pictures

(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…

Letter from Birmingham Jail, and Theater

Isaiah here. As I try to do on this day every year, I read through what I (along with Isaac Butler) think may be the greatest American argumentative essay, MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, written to white, moderate clergymen reluctant to support his work protesting segregation.

We’re Going To Make The New Stories

But while hosting the rehearsals for Have Another #5 this weekend, I noticed an…
