Coming Rogue 2009

We're working on another original comedy, which we're tentatively calling "Cupid Is a B*tch: A play about true love."

This one is Josh's brainchild. Check back for more details in the coming months. As for now, the cast is Josh Tehee, Jaime Holt, Will Albritton (who will also direct) and a fourth cast member to be named later -- probably after Josh and Will finish the script.

The marketing will be a little more simplistic this go-'round, and we probably won't be as secretive with the plot as we were last Rogue.

"Shakespeare Is an Idiot" (which we did in March) was our first attempt at mounting a play from scratch, and we learned a lot of lessons. We are tremendously proud of the work we did on that play, and we're thrilled to have had many people tell us privately and write publicly how much they enjoyed the show. Two of the best compliments we could have received were (and these are paraphrased): the play is perfect for the fringe festival circuit (Mia); and that it was enjoyable precisely because we made a play that we thought would be funny, as opposed to trying to figure out what the audience would like (Joel).

We plan on doing a lot of the same things with "Cupid" ... it will incorporate theories about love, much like we included a lot of "Shakespeare" lore . But mainly, we're going to produce something that we think is funny. We hope to see you there.
