So we’ve moved into rehearsal time, which, (as you probably know), is also the time where we most need your help. We’ll be swimming in all of the necessary work to make The Lesser Seductions of History as beautiful and vital as possible; just at the time when we also need to market the show…
(Looking for tickets to Lesser Seductions?) Rehearsals began this weekend for The Lesser Seductions of History. Usually, I have a moderate to high level of panic as rehearsals begin, but this weekend (I say with great caution out of fear of jinxing things) went really well.

As you may remember, Flux was thrilled to recently win the Independent Theatre Bloggers Association’s Citation for Excellence in Off-Off-Broadway Theater. What you may not have known is the ITBA asked all the winners to create an acceptance video. Well, we may have jumped on that opportunity a wee bit faster than some of the…
So, during our discussion after the read through of the latest draft of The Lesser Seductions Of History, Michael Davis (our wonderful George) brought up a really interesting challenge inherent in the play: Showing past action in the present moment. The play follows ten characters through each year of the 1960s, and so is episodic…
(Photo: Isaiah Tanenbaum. Pictured: Marnie Schulenburg, Maria Portman Kelly) Well, it’s closed, and all of us are very sad. THANK YOU to everyone who made time to see it. And if you want to give us just a wee bit more of that time, please vote for us at the New York Innovative Theatre Awards….
I am so excited to announce the amazing cast we’ve put together for our fall show, The Lesser Seductions of History! We have 8 Members involved, and 3 newish folks – Matthew Archambault (so good in our Imagination Compact last year), Ingrid Nordstrom (our dramaturg for Midsummer and Other Bodies) and DeWanda Wise (a find…
