(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Jake Alexander, Candice Holdorf, Matthew Archambault) Our 10th review comes from Judith Mahoney Pasternak at The Indypendent, and it is fascinating in its unique take on the politics of the play. I especially like how she noticed the subtle sexism present in the play, using this pointed example: Schulenburg…
My interview with Patrick Lee at Just Shows To Go You is up! This was an exciting interview for me – each question seemed to open up more questions, and because it wasn’t a written interview, I didn’t have time to craft my thoughts (though Patrick’s done a great job of editing here). As a…
A brief post of gratitude to: Tim Errickson of Boomerang Theatre Company for mentioning Flux’s ForePlay series in his interview with Leonard Jacobs as part of an article for Backstage regarding multi-disciplinary and dark night programming. On that subject, allow me to again voice my admiration for Electric Pear’s multi-multi-disciplinary Synesthesia project, and welcome Thesia…
(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Michael Davis, Tiffany Clementi) Toby Thelin’s review for OffOffOnline is up, and it is lovely, taking into context Flux’s trajectory as an Ensemble in a really thoughtful way. I especially like the attention he pays to the influence of Shakespeare. One (Candice’s character) speaks most of the play in…

Pictured: Jason Paradine, Candice Holdorf, Matthew Archambault) Doug Strassler’s review from Show Business Weekly is out, and I was especially happy that he noticed the sibling chemistry between Jason Paradine and Matthew Archambault as Barry and Bobby Tanner: Meanwhile, both Bobby and his brother, Barry, find themselves haunted by their…
(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Ingrid Nordstrom, Kelly O’Donnell, Isaiah Tanenbaum, Jake Alexander, Jason Paradine, Christina Shipp, Michael Davis) I read Aaron Riccio’s review late last night after coming home from a second rough night at the theatre. This review saved me a little, especially because of this quote: There are moments where Schulenburg…
Adina Levin has a fascinating post building on a theory of Dave Weinberger’s called The End of Information, The Return of Conversation. In it, Adina persuasively argues that Information – who has it, who doesn’t, and how it is distributed – is no longer the primary mover of our culture. Now it is Conversation, through…
(Photo by Tyler G. Hicks-Wright. Pictured: Ingrid Nordstrom, Kelly O’Donnell) I am so moved by Sean Williams’ response to The Lesser Seductions of History. One of the artist/producers behind Gideon Productions (Viral, Universal Robots, Hail Satan), his opinion means a great deal to me. My favorite quote from his post brings the action of the…
