The Flux Salon - Series Pass
We present fresh new plays featuring stories and perspectives written by emerging playwrights from around the country, with an emphasis on under represented voices (women and playwrights of color). The Flux Salon series plays in intimate spaces, often including live music, visual art, appearances by the playwright, engaging conversation and other performances. The plays that premiere at the Salon are being considered by Forward Flux for a full production in our next season - your feedback helps us decide if we produce the play.
The Salon takes place in secret locations. You never know where the next one will take place - in the past they have been held in living rooms, houseboats, wine shops, and restaurants throughout Seattle. The Flux Salon is produced by Forward Flux Productions.
