A New Company, A New Site

After performing (headlining, as one fellow puppeteer called it) at the National Puppetry Festival, we figured that we had a good thing going as a young contemporary puppet company. So we decided to go full-puppet. The Rough House is now an all-object-based theater company. We’re still sticking with our old model- that is Rough Theater- but with puppets now. And no kid stuff. Seriously. We’re tired of the puppets that cater to children. It’s not what we want to watch, and it certainly isn’t what we want to create as a company. The fact is, grown-ups deserve better theater. Not $100 dollar-a-seat Broadway crap catering to the lowest common denominator. We’re out to create theater that is thrilling, original, thought-provoking, intimate, and above all else, sincere. That is, with puppets and music and all that other shit we love.

Which brings us here, at our new website. We want to engage our audience by interacting on a human basis, and not hold any of our work on a pedestal, but rather share it as it develops.
