WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME, HUH?

Glad you asked! Beyond the obvious of having your work presented for an audience in a professional theater, there are a few other bonuses you'll enjoy when you participate in Rogue Theater Festival.
- 25% of total box office sales for your show
- Promotional materials (printed post cards, digital show promos, social media and press)
- A professional video recording of your show shared with you digitally 
-Lighting and Sound design
- Access to furniture at the theater 
- Each playwright receives a welcome kit!

Do I need to live in NYC to participate?

No! Not necessarily. The producer (aka whoever submits the piece) IS responsible for all costs needed to get your show to our stage. Rogue does not supply travel, housing, parking, rehearsal space, etc. If you are able to arrange things for your group to travel to NYC or for things to happen while you're elsewhere...fabulous.
