Yup, the Flux blog has been incognito of late. But that’s because we’ve been crazy busy in the realosphere, with some good, bad, and big news to announce today or tomorrow.

I was aware of the amazing work the National New Play Network is doing with their Continued Life of New Plays Fund, which was also featured as a positive example in Outrageous Fortune. But through Adam’s recent interview with Steve Yockey, I came across an equally interesting program from NNPN called the Emerging Playwrights in…
What is The Homing Project? There’s been some good feedback to The Homing Project from Scott at Theatre Ideas, Guy at Culture Future, J at 99 Seats, and the potential of a convening in midsummer as part of the New Play Institute, led by Arena and David Dower.
