Hi all! Isaiah here. Heather and I are curating “Divine Reckonings“, this year’s ForePlay. The first one is on Monday. I’m in it. Afterwards, there’s a party with an open bar. You should come to one of these fun events; better yet, come to both! But I’m actually writing tonight for a more general purpose….
In February, I posted about about the dimensions of character in an oh-so-accessible post entitled A String Theory of Character.

(What is Flux Sunday?) Still trying to play catch up on the Flux Sunday reports, and a rainy day does indeed help. So, cast your minds back to the far gone day of February 14th, where a last minute change of venue has us scrambling to a location where we can only read the plays,…
After The Lesser Seductions of History closed, our Marketing Director Kelly O’Donnell created a power point presentation that broke down the demographics of the audience that attended. While her presentation featured some salty jokes regarding the process, not to mention some choice photos, perhaps discretion is the better part of valor here, and I will…
DIVINE RECKONINGS – ForePlay just got biblical. Our exploratory play reading series, where playwrights riff on the themes of our mainstage production, is back. This ForePlay, called Divine Reckonings, will feature 16 playwrights re-imagining 8 stories from the Old Testament, inspired by the upcoming production of Jacob’s House, our modern retelling of Jacob wrestling the…
