What is the Rough House?

A very reasonable question. Sometimes, we don't even know. The Rough House is a great many things. Namely it is a home for play. Playing. Theater, Theatre, Theeuhter. Whatever you want to call it. Very basically, it is a performance space, in a living room, that can be configured any which way you like. A sort of playpen for the theatrical imagination. We have lights, and microphones, and big fucking speakers. We have platforms, curtains, 40 something seats, there's even a bar.

What do we do in it? The Rough House is by no means a typical venue. When we have a show, everybody plays. It's an opportunity for theater artists of all types to try out new and exciting things, and to enjoy themselves and eachother. What's coming next? This.
