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.</p> <p>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.</p>http://roughhousetheater.com/post/12504227858http://roughhousetheater.com/post/12504227858Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:13:45 -0600<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lubvqlDouB1r4lc60o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>An old shot of the mice for “Green-Tailed Mouse” waiting to be painted.
