...an ensemble company with a high regard
for the integrity of its audience.

—Patrick Baliani, The Desert Leaf

...a company of serious purpose, high artistic aspirations,
courage and refreshingly perverse intellectual tastes.

Only in poetry have I heard speech that sounds so much like music,
and Ms. Gallagher’s pitch-perfect timing made it clear that
that was what Beckett had in mind.

Winner of the Tucson Weekly’s Best of Tucson 2008

The January 2008 Rogue Theatre production of Albee’s The Goat was selected by the Tucson Weekly in the category of Best Theatrical Bestiality: “Loud, intense and emotionally realistic, Rogue’s production of Edward Albee’s play about a married man who has sex with a goat gradually twisted its initial whimsy into an evening throbbing with loneliness and rage, thanks to director David Morden and lead actors J. Andrew McGrath and Cynthia Meier. What began with witty sophistication descended into brutal primitivism by play’s end, in an overwhelming production by a courageous little company.”
