(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Aja Houston, Becky Byers, Chester Poon, Jennifer Somers Kipley, Rachael Hip-Flores. Post by August Schulenburg.) Our first review is out! And it’s from trusted Flux veteran Wendy Caster at Show Showdown! And she likes it! Enough exclaiming: Let the link speak for itself. I particularly like the quotes she uses to…

Oh, it was a joy to return from the Retreat, and rather than facing the return to ordinary life alone, be met with Jen Gunnels review of DEINDE for The New York Review of Science Fiction. This review is further example that the long-form criticism…

OK, I shouldn’t say best – several of these reviews are deeply meaningful to me, and I’m grateful for (almost) all of them. But Kalia Hale-Stern’s io9 review was a game changer…

I love that picture above – Ken’s delivery of this moment was a highlight of his performance for me. And I love this review from Karen Tortora-Lee at The Happiest Medium! Karen is one of Flux’s oldest and most trusted…

OK, so this is interesting: our two most negative reviewers came on the same night, a Wednesday in the second week that was one of our smallest, quietest houses. I would like to believe that my…
Photo by Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: David Ian Lee, Nitya Vidyasagar. Post by August Schulenburg. OK, so I’ve fallen a wee bit behind on these review responses! With the play long over, I’m tempted to let the remaining reviews go, but I still regret not doing this for Menders, and so will feel better…

Our stay in Long Island City has been a warm one, and Matthew Taylor’s review for BORO Mag is a welcome addition. This quote is particularly pleasing: “The play, which is put on by Flux Theatre Ensemble, is engaging for its humor,…
Photo by Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Matthew Murumba. Post by August Schulenburg. This beautiful response to DEINDE by Mozz is the reason why I make theatre, pure and simple. The written play is as many rungs up the ladder as I can think and feel the story on my own. Then, the production team…
(Photo: Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Isaiah Tanenbaum, David Ian Lee, Rachael Hip-Flores.) Another sci-fi focused review! Charles Battersby gives a great review of the play, including a fun call-out on me missing another Star Trek opportunity (guilty). It is always refreshing when reviewers engage with the content of the play, rather than simply judge…
Photo by Justin Hoch at jhoch.com. Pictured: Isaiah Tanenbuam, Rachael Hip-Flores, Matthew Trumbull, Nitya Vidyasagar, David Ian Lee, Ken Glickfeld We got our first negative review! When a play is as well received as DEINDE has been this far, it makes it much easier to engage with this kind of response. A negative review, when…
