What
is the Rogue?
How
does it work?
What
can I see?
Should
I be on time?
Can
I read an excerpt of something?
Will Giselle and William’s love of community
theatre bring them together?
What is the Rogue? ( and why should you care?)
The
Rogue Performance Festival returns this year with an even bigger celebration of
independent theatre, dance, storytelling, music and film to California's Central
Valley
This
unique and dynamic event is like no other in this area.
The Rogue is about celebrating the ARTS! It is about providing performing artists a low cost, high profile opportunity to showcase
experimental
and polished works! It is about providing audiences an affordable chance to
sample a variety of theatrical and performance styles!
This
year the festival moves to Fresno's cultural and historical Tower District.
Added
to this is the establishment of LIVINGSTONE'S
PUB & GRILL at 831 Fern as Rogue Central where you the audience can catch a bite to eat
and a beverage while chatting with performers between and after shows.
Once
again 100% of the box-office receipts go to the performers.
How does it work?
WHERE?
The
2003 Rogue Performance Festival will take place in 2 venues.
The
venues are called THE MAINSTAGE and THE ROGUE CAFÉ. Both venues offer a wide variety of performances guaranteed
to
titillate the senses, intellect and taste.
WHAT?
You
will be able to check out the companies and performers and read a short
description of what they are doing, the times, the venues they are playing at
and how much it costs.
WHEN?
HOW MUCH?
Then
turn up ON TIME, pay the LOW admission price... and enjoy. The fun is to bounce
between venues
WHY?
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHY?
…Why
not?

RULES OF THE ROGUE All performances will begin on time. Latecomers will not be allowed into the venues once the performance has begun. NO EXCEPTIONS Please arrive early, the performers have worked hard on their performances and it is RUDE and INCONSIDERATE and very PROVINCIAL to show disrespect for their efforts... it breaks concentration and affects a performance drastically. Ticket sales for each performance will begin 30 minutes before showtime, which brings us to our next rule: 2. ALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL. No Refunds, no exchanges, and no excuses.
(audience tip: Please arrive early. Ticket prices are cheap and
100% of the box-office sales go to the artists and performers.) 3.
ALL PERFORMANCES ARE GENERAL ADMISSION SEATING. (audience tip: Please arrive early. This way you can get the
best seats in the house.) 4.
ONE MORE TIME! respect
for other patrons and the performers. NO
LATE SEATING at ANY Rogue show, in ANY venue, for ANY reason, not even
with a ticket. NO
LATE SEATING no matter who you are or how

And now for
something completely inept and irresponsible, an excerpt from Pandermonium: Green Card Envy: William: Giselle, I
have three words for you- Meryl Streep. Giselle: Really? You
really think so? Oh man, she’s my personal hero. William: And your
loving brother…Peter Deluis…he missed it! Jason: That’s right,
he did. He got what he deserved. Giselle: You’re
right! He never appreciated my career! Just because I was doing a lot of
community theatre…he called it…he called it… Jason: What did he
call it? Giselle: He called
what I did…a hobby! Jason: A hobby? He
called your career a hobby?! William: Oh, the
rampant ignorance of it all! Jason: Did he realize
that great things come out of community theatre? Giselle: They do? William: Like what? Jason: Like…er…Annie!
Annie started as a community theatre production. I saw it on an A & E
special the other night. And that’s what it said. Giselle: You’re
right! I’m with you guys! Where are the guns! William: Duffel bag!
(Giselle exits)…Hey, was that true about Annie?
