ITBA Awards Flux A Citation For Excellence

What is the ITBA?

The ITBA (Independent Theater Bloggers Association) was formed in 2009 by a group of the most passionate theater bloggers on the World Wide Web. The members of the association blog about all aspects and all varieties of both commercial and non-profit theater, from big Broadway musicals performed in Times Square, to the most unique forms of entertainment performed off-off Broadway on the Lower East Side, as well as productions all over the country and all over the world.

Flux is thrilled to be one of the inaugural winners of this exciting new organization's annual awards.
