MENDERS Print Ad in Carrier Pigeon

(Print advertisement for Menders by Kristy Caldwell)

Post by August Schulenburg

There is nothing like returning from my (perfect, dazzling, exhausting) honeymoon to find this evocative image for our upcoming production of Menders in my inbox. Kristy Caldwell is the brilliant artist responsible for the Dog Act and Ajax in Iraq postcards, and she's working on an image for the the Menders postcard that will tie all three separate images into a single image - you can see what I mean here.

Other folks looking for illustrations, if the above doesn't convince you, working with Kristy is the best. You should do it, too.

The image above, which will appear as a print ad in Issue 5 of Carrier Pigeon, really strikes at the secret, walled heart of Erin's beautiful play - I'm so glad to return to the city and hit the ground running on Menders. Read the full story

Two Interviews About Collaboration

Check out this great interview at Works by Women of our own Heather Cohn! Heather has some great thoughts about Flux's programming, gender equity, and our upcoming production of Erin Browne's Menders.


While you're at it, our amazing Dog Act postcard illustrator Kristy Caldwell has a fascinating post about her process (and ours) here.

I post these links thinking also about the extraordinary legacy of Ellen Stewart, who passed today at 91. I particularly loved this quote about La Mama's genesis coming out her desire to stage her friend's plays:
"Not knowing anything about theaters, I thought it was like playing house...I would have this little theater and they would write plays and all their friends would be in them and live happily ever after."
She's a true inspiration for anyone trying to build or find a creative home. Rest in peace.
