A super-fast reminder that amidst the flurry of new membership, weddings, and the preparation for a fall chock-full of exciting projects (stay tuned!), Flux is attending tonight’s New York Innovative Theatre Award ceremonies. We’ll be performing a short play and expressing our very humble thanks as we accept the Caffe Cino Fellowship Award, crossing our…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Becky Byers, Squish, Liz Douglas) In this case, very much better later than never. Jen Gunnels for the New York Review of Science Fiction is only available in hard copy; perhaps apt for a play about what happens when the digital world disappears, and takes almost every piece of cultural memory…
We just found out that Dog Act was nominated as Outstanding Off-Off Broadway Show for a Patrick Lee Theater Blogger Award by the Independent Theater Bloggers Association! Readers of this blog know my high esteem of Patrick’s work as a reviewer, and my sadness over his untimely death, so this is especially exciting for us….
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: The cart, moments before it leaves the stage for China) What a closing weekend! Two out of the three final shows sold out; two out of three with standing ovations; all three shows among our best. I think it was the strongest we’ve ever closed a show (though to quote Szymborska,…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Liz Douglas, Chris Wight, Becky Byers) Helen Shaw’s review for Time Out New York is out! We’d been hoping to lure one of the 3 regular TONY reviewers to our shows for some time now, as they have a great track record of championing artists off the beaten path (Cote for…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Chris Wight) Shawn C. Harris, the playwright of Tulpa, or Anne & Me, uses Dog Act as a springboard to consider the power of naming, particularly as it concerns the ongoing development of her queer Black womanist liberation poiesis. It’s a great read, with this whole irreducible paragraph…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Liz Douglas, Becky Byers) I hadn’t heard of Big Vision, Empty Wallet (though I connect a wee bit with the concept) and so was psyched that Mateo Moreno’s review was not only good, but introduced me to a new website! It’s a combo review with Beirut, another play that imagines the…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbum. Pictured: Zack Robidas, Julian Stetkevych) John Peacock has made Flavorpill an Editor Pick! Though short, it certainly is sweet, and I’m happy to choose this as my favorite quote: A brilliant blend of savagery and poignancy, the play succeeds in being humorous and thoughtful in equal measures, an elegy for humanity and…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Lori E. Parquet, Chris Wight) Will Kenton’s review is up at Cultural Capitol! As you may recall, I appreciated the wider angle he brought to his Jacob’s House review, and he brings the same insights to the this review, perhaps best exemplified by this great quote: The play is a riff…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Liz Douglas, Becky Byers) Karen Tortora-Lee’s review is out at The Happiest Medium! Karen is another one of our long time reviewers, so we always look forward to her take on our work. I lover her comparison of Zetta to Quixote (and the stories within stories structure of both make the…
