Somewhere just after midnight, an interesting question occurred to me: Could there come a day when an entire musical is performed through texting?

It is hard to believe that summer has already come and gone. We hope you have all had a wonderful summer, and that the return to school, work, and the general rhythm of autumn has been treating you well. And to all those celebrating, we wish you a happy, healthy high holiday season.

Last month, I wrote about some of the challenges facing live theatre today, and about the importance of finding new ways to introduce original work to audiences.

This month, I want to share an idea that has been taking shape for FTSP’s primary project.

The other day, I saw my grandson in a camp production of Finding Nemo Jr., and was impressed by the combination of creativity and simplicity of the production. These “low-budget” productions always seem to have a sense of ingenuity to them.

Broadway subsidies aren't usually the sort of thing that dominate dinner table conversation, but a recent article in The Hollywood Reporter raised some questions that I think are worth asking.

This month, I want to discuss a new claim from BroadwayWorld that I find intriguing: “Producers are getting comfortable releasing filmed captures of live musicals while the stage production is still running on Broadway.” 

Our presentation of Peter Filichia’s Musicals Without Music, under the thoughtful guidance of George Andre Tittle, proved to be a success! The audience was generous in spirit and seemed wonderfully receptive to our experimental piece. There is, it seems, a particular pleasure in encountering these familiar works anew, divested of their scores and revealed in a different light.

As we head into March, I wanted to share something a little more personal about a project that’s been living in my head (and heart) for quite a while. 

On Sunday, March 29, Flipping the Script Productions will present a one-day-only performance of Musicals Without Music by Peter Filichia, and I couldn’t be more excited about it.

The League of Historic American Theatres (LHAT) National Conference was everything I hoped it would be and more. As a proud 1-star sponsor, it was an honor to be part of an event that honors both tradition and innovation.

Greetings, and I hope you all had a lovely 4th of July weekend. This month, we’re thrilled to announce that Flipping The Script Productions is officially a sponsor of the 2025 League of Historic American Theatres (LHAT) National Conference, taking place later this month in Pittsburgh, PA!

Happy Pride Month! At Flipping The Script Productions, we’re taking a moment to honor and remember the LGBTQIA+ artists, audiences, and pioneers who have actively and historically shaped the theatre world into what we know and love.

Let’s turn our attention slightly downtown, to Off-Broadway, where another kind of remarkable story is unfolding.

Five years ago last month, Broadway went dark. Museums closed their doors, concert halls fell silent, and stadiums stood empty as the world grappled with the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recently, I came across an insightful article in The Daily Beast titled “Female Playwrights Are Finally Taking Over Broadway Stages.” The piece highlights the increasing prominence of female voices in theater, a development that resonates deeply with our mission.

This month, and next, we are looking for ways to highlight the diverse voices that make theatre world what it is.

As we turn the page from 2024 and step into 2025, we can’t help but reflect on the incredible journey we’ve been on together.

This month, we are excited to once again place a spotlight on the incredible writer behind Someone Close to You, Melissa Borgerding.

This month, I am excited to shine a light on our incredible writer and director duo again!

I am excited to share a heartfelt conversation I recently had with James A. Goins, the talented director of our upcoming production Someone Close to You.
