Family Feud Answers Revealed!

Thanks to everyone who answered our Family Feud survey. The event was a huge success and everyone had a great time. We’ve had some requests to post the questions and answers that were used. One of the highlights of the night was when the panelists (all theatre people) were presented with the question “What’s a…

The Walls of Season 4: Baghdad

Walls play a major role in all three plays of our Season 4: Don’t Look Away. In Dog Act, the legacy of a breach in a walled city defines the conflict. In Menders, we follow the arc of two student guards watching the wall of a post-apocalyptic city. In Ajax in Iraq, the walls are…

What Is Flux Sunday, The 2.0 Version

On November 26, 2007, in our 6th post on the Flux Blog, I explained Flux Sundays, our then year old weekly workshop process. This process has undergone a subtle but important evolution, and it seems therefore important to post a revised explanation of just what, exactly, a Flux Sunday is and does. Flux Sunday is…

Pictures From The Feud

We’ll be following up with the answers from the Feud itself (there was some fun controversy), but for now, we’ll let these pictures equal a whole bunch of words. All photos by Isaiah Tanenbaum.

Flux Sunday, November 14th

Ken Glickfeld to the rescue! With our usual Flux Sunday spaces occupied, Ken rode to our rescue, allowing our theatre-making momentum to continue. I had thought we’d only be able to read scripts, but he was willing for us to stage scenes, and though that shift led to a time miscalculation on my part, some…

The Viral Age, Part 1

During the ends of the aughts (which we are technically still in, no?), I spent some time prowling this web of ours looking for what it would be named. Most of the names seemed to revolve around some unfortunate rhyme with aughts (Naughty Aughties?); but after seeing Mac Rogers’ Viral (adventurous theatre producers, read it,…
