Sophistication and soulful emotions pour out with every classically phrased melody from the gorgeous Debi Ruud. Her renditions of pop and jazz standards will recall the cabaret style of Etta James, the Vegas humor of the Rat Pack, and powerful emotions owned solely by Debi.

PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS

Genre: Play-Dramedy

57 minutes
Rated: R
NO late comers admitted
Disclosures: adult situations and language, loud sharp noises, underwear and the threat of nudity.

A quirky, fun, and deliciously devious ride with more twist and turns than a horny rattlesnake with a hernia. Tale End PREMIERS at Rogue 2007! What if the Kingdom was a casino in Vegas and the royalty had nary a speck of nobility? This taut one act blows the faerie out of the tale with a cold loaded Glock. A sleazy, grim re-imagined fantasy that will catch you smiling for all the wrong reasons. Plus, the threat of nudity is so real we had no choice but to rate it “R”… just in case. Be warned, you may need a drink or 5 directly after you experience the disemboweling of this fable.

The Rap Canterbury Tales

Baba Brinkman
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
www.babasword.com
Genre: Solo Performance

60 minutes
Rated: PG-13
Latecomers within 15 minutes
Disclosures: Children under twelve must be precocious to enter. No actual profanity, but some descriptions of mature subject matter

Since first appearing at the Edinburgh Festival in 2004, “The Rap Canterbury Tales” has been taking the world by storm. The show re-creates Chaucer’s 14th century classic as an edgy rap battle, bringing the raunchy stories of lust and revenge to vivid new life. Hailed as one of the must-see shows at the Edinburgh Festival (“Truly awe-inspiring … 5 Stars!” - The Scotsman), Baba Brinkman’s medieval rap classic has ignited minds and sold-out theatres across Australia, Canada, England, and even at Harvard University. The Rogue Festival hit of ‘05 is returning for another round of rudeness. Don’t miss it!
