We’ve been wooing him for a long time, and as readers of this blog know, we’re big fans of all he does for our theatre community. I’m thrilled that Matthew Archambault, Zack Calhoon, Jane Taylor,…
Everyone at Flux is thrilled by the announcement that our Jacob’s House sound designer, Elizabeth Rhodes, was nominated for a Drama Desk for her work on John Ball’s In the Heat of the Night. Congratulations, Betsy! You rock!

Pictured: Jane Lincoln Taylor, Zack Calhoon, Matthew Archambault, Tiffany Clementi, Jessica Angleskhan) I had a great interview with Jody Christopherson over at the New York Theater Review blog about Jacob’s House.

Pictured: Bianca LaVerne Jones, Jane Lincoln Taylor, Johnna Adams) I was thrilled to be interviewed by Mark Peikert of New York Press about writing Jacob’s House after the denial of the JB rights.
