ROGUE MAINSTAGE VENUE APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Successful Mainstage applicants are assigned to a Mainstage Venue and receive an allotted number of 60-minute performance slots. A Mainstage venue can seat between 75 - 100 audience members. A Mainstage Venue can accommodate larger-scale performances such as one-act plays, minor musicals, dance/movement, musical acts, cabaret, magic shows, etc/
MAINSTAGE VENUE APPLICATION FEE: $250 NON- REFUNDABLE PROCESSING FEE: $25 MAXIMUM TICKET PRICE: $7 MAXIMUM SEATING : 75 -100 PER PERFORMANCE TIME LIMIT: 60 MINUTES NUMBER 0F PERFORMANCES: 3-4 (LOCAL); 4-5 (NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL)
TECHNICAL PRODUCTION All Rogue Performance Festival performances start on time. There is a 60-minute time limit for Mainstage performers.
There are only 30 minutes between all performances, which includes 15 minutes to strike the show that just ended and 15 minutes to set up the next production with the audience being seated concurrently.
Mainstage Venues are equipped with basic lighting, sound, and performance area.
This includes:
Each company will receive a 90-minute technical rehearsal/cue-to-cue. We will provide companies with more info on their venue so that they can be as prepared as possible for their technical rehearsal.
The Rogue provides one technician in each Mainstage Venue to run lights and/or sound. All companies must supply one Production Stage Manager to call your show, (an additional sound operator, if necessary), and enough crew to set up and strike your show. Since there are some technical limitations in the venues, it is best to focus on the content of your play and try to keep the technical/production values as simple, imaginative and as compact as possible. THE VENUES PROVIDE NO STORAGE. Sets, props and costumes must be removed after each performance.
BOX OFFICE / TICKETS The Rogue returns 100% of the box office ticket sales to the individual companies and provides all front-of-house staff (e.g, house managers, box office, ushers) for Rogue Mainstage Venue participants. Each company sets its own ticket price (rounded off to the nearest dollar) up to a maximum of $7.
PLEASE NOTE: the Rogue reserves the right to sell and will be selling Rogue Ready Passes. Rogue Mainstage Venue participants will receive 70% of the ticket price for any audience member using a Rogue Ready Pass to see your show.
