Flux Theatre Ensemble

I had a great interview with Jody Christopherson over at the New York Theater Review blog about Jacob's House. Jody is an ideal interviewer for this play, since she would fit right in with the vitalists of Jacob's family - most recently she both produced and starred in (with a nimble and heartfelt performance) Erin Browne's Trying, all the while rocking the NYTR blog.

Read the whole thing here to learn more about who Jacob is, and just exactly why working with Kelly O'Donnell is something everyone should do. And then...score some $11 tix to opening weekend w/the code MANIFEST - tonight's opening is sold out but we'd love to see you Saturday or Sunday night. Read the full story

Last Friday, Heather and I brought Dream Chain friend Jaime Robert Carrillo to see Blue Box's 'Sticky' series. (Here's a pic of Blue Box's Libby Emmons and David Marcus at our 1st Have Another, in the middle of making a Tanenbaumwich). Set at the Bowery Poetry Club, their Sticky series features short plays by some amazing playwrights set in and at the bar.

The night we went, Heather, Jaime and I ended up sitting at the stage, which meant we were in the spotlight every time cabaret star Jeffery Marsh was singing (beautifully). I tried to look as mysterious and wise as possible, stroking my enigmatic stubble and squinting my soul-searching stare at the performances.

And there were some great performances! Flux Sunday playwright Erin Browne featured a sassy NYTR-friend Jody Christopherson in a short that had the crowd hooting like Springer. Both Libby and Dave acquitted themselves as playwright and actor respectively. Chashama friend Risa Shoup's was the last play, a haunting short about death and the end of the world that bubbled to life on the whimsy of a bartender serving blood instead of booze.

We also bumped into new friends like Rachel Klein and Daniel Swern, making for a night of quirky theatre, lovely cabaret, and great craic. Be sure to check out the rest of the Sticky series! Read the full story
