Greetings!   
 
First, we are thrilled and honored to be the recipient of a Manhattan Community Arts Fund grant from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, which will help our productions of The Imagination Compact and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
  
Also, we have a very limited number of half-price tickets still available for Midsummer, so click here and use code IC428 to reserve. Additionally, for those who buy a ticket to opening night (June 6), we are inviting you to celebrate with us by attending our fabulous opening night party (details coming soon).
 
And don't forget to check out Night Two of The Imagination Compact this Monday, May 5, at 8pm at the Fourth St Theater (83 East Fourth St). Admission is FREE, but please reserve at heather@fluxtheatre.org.
 
Finally, Flux would like to thank everyone who supported us by attending our Midsummer Benefit or purchasing a raffle ticket (or both!). Check out photos from the event here. It's through your help that we can bring you our most ambitious season yet!
