The Rogue Theatre

 

300 East University Boulevard, Tucson, AZ - 520-551-2053 - www.TheRogueTheatre.org 

 

 

Next, the Rogue actors will be performing a staged reading of Jez Butterworth's endlessly mysterious The River this Sunday, December 3 at 2:00 p.m.  

 

This is the third time in the history of The Rogue we're returning to Butterworth's work. Many of you may remember Jerusalem or The Night Heron from seasons past. Butterworth has a wicked sense of humor and a poetic imagination. I personally can't wait to see this performance.

A staged reading is a lot like seeing a full production. It is performed without a set or costumes, and the actors carry their scripts, but you will leave with the full play in your imagination. Tickets are only $17 and are going quickly. Please join us if you can for this one-day-only performance.

On a moonless night in August, a man brings his new girlfriend to the remote family cabin where he has come for fly-fishing since he was a boy.

announces a new program

THE PERSISTENCE PROJECT

 

Strada Company announces The Persistence Project, a venture capital fundraising program for women artists in metro Tucson.  This program is designed to empower women artists in all genres (writing, film, visual art, music, theatre, new media, etc) by providing them seed money to pursue projects and ideas that institutional arts organizations are unable to.  For more information, check out www.stradacompany.org/persistence-project.

"We think it's important for women to have some control of their artistic life. The funds we raise for artists is free to them and unrestricted," said Nicole Scott, director at Strada. "We sent out a survey this summer and 90% of artists in Tucson wanted a space to present and/or the materials to make their art. We want to help with that."

Strada has supported artists that are doing a special project like Johanna Lundy's recording project of new compositions for French Horn or harpist Mariah McCammond playing a fundraiser with ChamberLab. In some cases, we'll be supporting a particular artist, like theatre director Jasmine Roth, to work with a nonprofit theatre. Sometimes, we have just connected buyers to visual artists like Inna Rohr. The goal of the fund is to deliver $7,500 in the first year and $10,000 the second. "We've had to start small, but to quote Shakespeare, 'And though she be but little, she is fierce.'"

 

For information on supporting The Persistence Project or applying for support, please visit www.stradacompany.org/persistence-project, or email Nicole Scott at director@stradacompany.org. Or call 520-26101064.

Arizona Citizens for the Arts: SAVE the NEA: More work to do

 

From: Arizona Citizens for the Arts <info@azcitizensforthearts.org>
Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2017 9:05 AM
Subject: SAVE the NEA: More work to do

 

Congress has set a deadline of December 8th to pass legislation to fund government

 

 

Let's keep the pressure on!

 

 

 

Congratulations to the arts advocates who've contacted their members of Congress to ask them to reject White House proposals to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and other federal cultural agencies.  Americans for the Arts' Arts Action Fund members, alone, sent a record number of 187,115 e-mails to Congress this year to #SAVEtheNEA, and it is working.

These emails and many personal visits to every member of the House and Senate helped to secure a $145 million allocation in the House budget proposal on July 18th for the NEA and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), and $150 million allocation for each in the Senate proposal this month. Also included is significant funding for other federal cultural agencies that are at risk in the White House budget.

However, these budget negotiations are just one of many efforts ongoing right now in the Congress that could impact nonprofit arts and culture organizations.

Congress has set a deadline of December 8th to pass legislation to fund government agencies and programs, including the NEA, NEH and other culture agencies.  By then, they must either pass a budget, or further extend the deadline to keep the government running. Also in play are possible veto threats from the President, Senate passage of a tax reform proposal, disaster recovery funding, money to "build a wall," and the need to reach increase the federal debt ceiling.

 

 

 

 

 

Right now, we need arts supporters to do three things: 

 

 

 

  1. Contact your members of Congress and ask them to support the Senate's higher number ($150 million) for the NEA and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Key appropriators in the House must be persuaded to accept the Senate's higher funding allocation during upcoming conference negotiation which is supposed to result in a unified bill this month.

Click here to contact Congress


Please feel free to customize your note to Congress with information about your support for the other federal cultural agencies noted in the graph here.

  1. Keep an eye on your inbox for more notifications about how arts and culture organizations may be impacted by the tax reform proposals. House-passed tax reform has several provisions that negatively affect arts and culture, but the Senate is still negotiating its package. Keep up to date on these issues by visiting the following arts and culture websites:

Arts Action Fund
American Alliance of Museums
National Humanities Alliance

 

  1. Join the Arizona Citizens for the Arts Advocacy Network and receive important information directly from us.

The S&S Studio Series Opens Friday @ 7:30!

This Friday marks the opening of The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre's first show in our newly renovated Studio! A Public Reading of an Unproduced Screenplay About the Death of Walt Disney runs December 1st-10th (with a November 30th Preview).  

In this staccato dark comedy, Walt conducts a reading of his screenplay about his last days on earth. It's about everyone who loves him so much, and it's about how sad they're going to be when he's gone.  The New York Times calls Hnath's A Public Reading "a meditation on the human desire to aspire to the status of a god, and the corrupting influence of this wish on the spirit and the flesh." 

Don't miss out on your chance to see this amazing production—seating is limited! Buy your tickets online or call our Box Office at (520) 448-3300.

What is the S&S Studio Series?

The Scoundrel & Scamp Studio Series is intimate and actor-focused, akin to the upstairs pub theater you might find in London. In this 30-seat space, you will find bare bones storytelling with risky, cutting edge theater not done elsewhere in Tucson.

The Studio Series is best enjoyed by Scoundrels ages 18+.

It's a great script this year with a fabulously funny cast. You may remember that we had to cancel it one year and you asked for it back.  We brought it back in a smaller venue. You came out. Thank you for that. Then you asked for it back in a large venue where it belongs. This year we took the plunge and are back at the Leo Rich. It will be full of spectacle because we will once again have the space. What we're saying is that we need you to come out and bring family and friends.

What's Up, Docs?: Documentary Films by BFA & BA students

 

Tucson, AZ – This year's documentary showcase, What's Up, Docs?, features 12 new short films, exploring a smorgasbord of subjects from art, science and religion, to culture and politics. The diverse program profiles local musician/painter Salvador Duran; fish, amphibian and reptile enthusiasts creating elaborate aquariums, herpetariums and terrariums; and a Tohono O'odham female power-lifter who's training for a competition; local Satanic Temple members; EMTs in training; underground artists performing in a local DIY space; the inventor of the insect sting pain index, and the YouTube star who popularized it. From a polarizing Trump rally in Phoenix to a custom car rally, a peek behind the scenes of an improv comedy group, and a personal meditation on the equivocal attractions of Greek life, this year's eclectic slate of films features something for everyone. (Plays Tuesday, Dec 5, 2017, at 7pm at the Loft Cinema. Free Admission.)
