As a musical actor, Wesley Frugé has performed on stages all across the United States. What he saw from his vantage beneath the kliegs startled him: audiences full of olds. Olds are great! Soon, if we’re not already, and if we’re lucky, we will all be olds. But, due to changing demographics and the natural expiration of human life, it turns out that appealing just to olds isn’t a sustainable business model. You need the youths to fill houses, and you need them to do it on a consistent basis, or else theater will go the way of the olds.
In response to his fear for the future of theater, Frugé founded and now artistically directs Forward Flux, a local production company that champions brand-new work from women and artists of color.
