Last night, after catching up with a friend on her return from New Zealand I ran into fellow playwright, Ross Howard who fielded 2 shows at the recent Rogue Festival. This one & this one… both excellent plays in my book ( I saw them both in my quest to seek out original works during the festival). I was actually on my way home but just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to commiserate with someone …
I feel good… better than James Brown. Rogue 2007 went well. There seemed to be a significant spike in audience attendance. Performers from far and near seemed to be on a buzzed high from their participation. In general the caliber of shows was very impressive. After 6 years I think it has finally arrived. Both my shows did well. Suicide Lounge was quite a popular show. For something that was thrown together as a lark… …
… reviews to the play so far. Go HERE! BTW…. we sold out a 10 PM Wednesday performance. Chide me all you want for my marketing… B.I.T.S. (Butts In The Seats)… is the bottom line… then you can sell a good play or art to them.
… I thought I’d take the opportunity to write a post. First off the bat… if you are in the big NO… Tale End plays tonight at 10 PM. If you are in line you may be randomly picked to go in FREE! Thoughts have been floating of late. Some concerning the Rogue some concerning the show but mostly those concerning how this year has (as I predicted) to be one of letting go. In …
… 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 …
We SOLD OUT our opening performance. (Chairs had to be added) There were technical glitches… but the stellar cast pulled it off in grand style. We’ve got a show this afternoon at 4 PM. Updates later.
It begins today. Where over 6 years ago no-one wanted anything to do with us… it is now the biggest of it’s kind on the West coast! Counts go all around for this one. To the small ragtag group of founders… you jumped into this insanity and showed this town the wonders of the possible. Yeah, I catch a lot of press and credit for it… but know that I never fail to mention YOU… …
Yes, we premier Tale End at 8 :30 this Saturday… as the lovely Solitaire beckons you from over her shoulder. For part 2 of this series… go HERE! Cheers & Happy HNT!
… this weekend. Lugging equipment and setting up venues for the Festival. A flurry of activity as the Rogue begins to take over the Tower District for the next 2 weeks. I have to admit that I am getting excited with the upcoming openings of my shows in it. I have a pretty tight schedule on Saturday as 2 of my shows are playing back to back. At 7:30 Suicide Lounge plays and then I …
