PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS

Genre: Play-Dramedy

57 minutes
Rated: R
NO late comers admitted
Disclosures: adult situations and language, loud sharp noises, underwear and the threat of nudity.

A quirky, fun, and deliciously devious ride with more twist and turns than a horny rattlesnake with a hernia. Tale End PREMIERS at Rogue 2007! What if the Kingdom was a casino in Vegas and the royalty had nary a speck of nobility? This taut one act blows the faerie out of the tale with a cold loaded Glock. A sleazy, grim re-imagined fantasy that will catch you smiling for all the wrong reasons. Plus, the threat of nudity is so real we had no choice but to rate it “R”… just in case. Be warned, you may need a drink or 5 directly after you experience the disemboweling of this fable.

Genre: Solo Performance

60 minutes
Rated: PG-13
Latecomers within 15 minutes
Disclosures: Children under twelve must be precocious to enter. No actual profanity, but some descriptions of mature subject matter

Since first appearing at the Edinburgh Festival in 2004, “The Rap Canterbury Tales” has been taking the world by storm. The show re-creates Chaucer’s 14th century classic as an edgy rap battle, bringing the raunchy stories of lust and revenge to vivid new life. Hailed as one of the must-see shows at the Edinburgh Festival (“Truly awe-inspiring … 5 Stars!” - The Scotsman), Baba Brinkman’s medieval rap classic has ignited minds and sold-out theatres across Australia, Canada, England, and even at Harvard University. The Rogue Festival hit of ‘05 is returning for another round of rudeness. Don’t miss it!

Some strong language and some anger.

The story of Shakespeare is well known; his brilliance outgrew his hometown, so he left for the glory of London. But what of his wife? How could the wife of the most famous writer be so easily forgotten? Making its United States Premiere, “Tea with Anne” explores the mentality of a woman dealing with the secrets and lies of abandonment; a woman who must ultimately chose between the painful truth and even harsher reality.

Latecomers within 15 minutes.
Disclosures: All ages. Monster musicians, crazy improvisation, and hot licks.

“In the 1930’s, if you had a lot of money you had “heavy sugar.” Well, if musical talent was currency, this band would be some off-the-hook-extremely-heavy-sugar. Five individually amazing musicians have joined together to perform some of the best music ever written, jazz of the 30’s and 40’s.

Karen Marguth’s pure, sensual, crisp vocals will be highlighted by the musicianship of none other than Armen Nalbandian on piano, Rich Severson on guitar, Kevin Hill on bass, and Gary Newmark on drums. Rarely does a combination like this come together, and you won’t want to miss it.
