What is Jacob’s House?What is ForePlay:Divine Reckonings?Chandra ThomasActor, ForePlay Previous Flux Experience: i’ve been a part of a table reading with Flux before (Ajax in Iraq) – excited to be a part of this ForePlay. Do you have a favorite Bible character? (perhaps cheesy but the truth!) Jesus. Are you blessed? Absolutely, fully and without…
So for The Lesser Seductions of History, we had an audience feedback thread that was one of the highlights of the process. The nearly 20 comments left gave me great insight in how the play was being received, particularly with the fraught character of ONE. I’d love to try this again for Jacob’s House, so…
(Photo: Justin Hoch @ jhoch.com. Pictured: Matthew Archamabult, Anthony Wills Jr.) Our first review is out! Wendy Caster is first in over at Show Showdown. I’m thrilled the review is a positive one, especially as I have a (hopefully unjustified and kind of silly) sense of foreboding about the reviewers who attended last night. I…
(Photo by Justin Hoch @ jhoch.com. Pictured: Tiffany Clementi, Bianca LaVerne Jones) I had a blast talking with fellow word-slinger Matthew Freeman as part of nytheatrecast’s playwrights talking to playwrights series. Listen to us gab the light fantastic here. Saturday night’s performance was our most vocally responsive yet, really connecting with the comedy of the…
(Photo by Justin Hoch @ jhoch.com. Pictured: Isaiah Tanenbaum, Kelli Dawn Holsopple) My interview with Alice Wade of Backstage is up, and shes does a great job of crafting the narrative of events that lead to Jacob’s House. Read the whole thing here. Last night we opened to a sold out house, and after these…
(Photo: Justin Hoch. Pictured: Jane Lincoln Taylor, Zack Calhoon, Matthew Archambault, Tiffany Clementi, Jessica Angleskhan) I had a great interview with Jody Christopherson over at the New York Theater Review blog about Jacob’s House. Jody is an ideal interviewer for this play, since she would fit right in with the vitalists of Jacob’s family –…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Bianca LaVerne Jones, Jane Lincoln Taylor, Johnna Adams) I was thrilled to be interviewed by Mark Peikert of New York Press about writing Jacob’s House after the denial of the JB rights. Phone interviews are so tricky – you don’t have the considered economy of email interviews, nor can you pick…
Isaiah Tanenbaum has some lovely shots from tech rehearsal for your viewing pleasure…and to inspire you to get your tickets now for opening weekend! (All photos by Isaiah Tanenbaum.

The above brilliance was created (with some help from Google) by Jacob’s House actor Matthew Archambault. Some said it wouldn’t be worth it, Flux buying a Super Bowl ad, but clearly the proof is in the pudding. In other news, Michael Roderick of Broadway World included our production of Jacob’s House as part of his…
So, while Jacob’s House tickets are selling reasonably well – we’ve nearly sold out opening night – we’re behind ticket sales from our past two shows, having sold 15% less then Pretty Theft (85%) and 42% less then The Lesser Seductions of History at this distance from opening. That’s a significant downturn when we’d expected…
