ON BIRDS AND BUNNIESOur Flux workshop on Sunday the 23rd, aka ‘Easter’, was a blissfully smaller turnout of 14 people – about 12 less than our recent average – and I welcomed the intimate crowd. ONEIDA, OR ISAIAH GOES SLEDDINGWe continued through Johnna Adams’ wonderful play about the utopian community in mid-1800’s New York, Oneida,…
On Friday the 21st I had the opportunity to see a preview Something You Did at Primary Stages, opening tonight. Without offering a review, there were several strong performances, and many good reasons to check out this play about the political wound of the 60’s and our difficulty in solving or salving that wound even…
On our Flux Sunday March 16th we completed working through Jeremy Basescu’s A Wonderful Wife.

Wondering what to do until the benefit on April 14th? Wish you could see more of Isaiah? Well, who wouldn’t? So why not catch my television broadcast debut this Saturday night at 10:45 pm on PBS Channel Thirteen? “Window Shopping,” a short I starred in, was chosen as a finalist for this week’s “Reel 13”…
I am sorry to say that I am blogging about two shows that have already closed, but at least if you see a theatre presenting of one these, you’ll know to check them out for yourself. A few weeks ago, I caught the LAByrinth Theater Company’s production of Brett C. Leonard’s Unconditional, which ran at…
