- And oh yeah, happy Memorial Day!

For a change of pace, this week we bring you a glimpse of the working process of a small New York theater company, a hint at the seams that underlie the shows we normally see from a plush chair in the house of the theater and then review for you. The company in question is LightBox, which is just about five years old now; the show is Ajax: 100% Fun, which opens on Wednesday at the Culture Project. Yesterday, at the invitation of director Ellen Beckerman, we went to a rehearsal at the Trisha Brown dance studios, where – in the absence of set or costumes or footlights – we gained a measure of insight into how the theatre creations we love so much actually come together.
