… of the first weekend? Hmmm… this is gonna be an interesting one to write. Do I write this as an ex-producer of the Rogue… as a current independent producer & performer… or just an audience member? Decisions, decisions….
It’s probably going to be all over the place… so, bear with me on this one.
First… the picture to your right is the actual line waiting for a 4 PM performance on a Sunday! I heard the line for our opening performance was triple that and chairs were added and that over 30 people had to be turned away. I’m still trying to wrap my mind around that.
Opening night was fraught with technical glitches… but the cast pulled through. The Sunday show was good. Audience members walked away walked away with what we wanted them to walk away with. You can read some of the responses HERE.
I have decided that the show that I’m actually performing in, Suicide Lounge, is going to do me in. Each of us average 3 drinks a piece during a 45 minute set… for me it is scotch rocks! But we do have fun… and I think the audience does too. It’s sick and wrong with some great songs but they love it.
As an audience member… the festival is going well. It really is. people are teeming and buzzing and walking (in a hurried pace) from venue to venue. This year… there is an extra spark of newness that is spreading like a virus… be it from Rogue regulars to the new Rogue audience members. Our numbers are up… but these are all concerns that I don’t have to deal with this year.
You can read about this from them HERE, HERE & HERE. Oh, there is more… but I thought these would give you a taste. Plus a couple of local papers in town have gone out full bore with reviews on their blog.
Am I proud? Yes. Nuff said.
Once again… my blogging may be spotty… but I will try to get it all in. Oh, yeah… pictures too!
