UR Here Theater is excited to welcome you to our next staged reading: POTUS, or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive. This play contains all the words, all the themes and more than all the laughs. The perfect antidote to election season fatigue, enjoy 90 minutes of funny, fuming females with a splash of topical political absurdity.

For any woman who’s ever found herself the secondary character in a male farce.

This side-splitting comedy applauds the women who somehow manage to keep things running in, and out, of the presidential Oval Office. Jump aboard the ridiculous ride in this play as seven brilliant and beleaguered women surrounding the most powerful man on earth, as they take increasingly desperate measures to save face when his scandals spark a global crisis. Join us for this hysterical Tony Award nominated comedy and start off the election year with a smile.

Themes/Talking Points: feminism, politics, gender, media, current events

Rogue Festival accepting applications for 2025 Rogue Festival Sept. 16-October 18, 2024

Theater groups, musicians, and performing artists of every kind encouraged to apply

FRESNO, CA — The Rogue Festival, Fresno’s freewheeling, unpredictable and completely uncontrolled celebration of the performing arts, is accepting applications for the 2025 Rogue Festival from Monday, Sept. 16 through Friday, Oct. 18. Applications will be available on the Rogue website, fresnoroguefestival.org.

The Rogue Festival calls for Central Valley theater groups, musicians, dance troupes, storytellers, poets, spoken word artists, comedians, magicians and every other kind of artist to apply. Artists of color and artists from marginalized communities are encouraged to apply.

Performers for the 2025 Rogue Festival will be randomly selected from all applicants through a lottery to be held Saturday, Oct. 19, which will be streamed live on Facebook and Instagram. The Rogue Festival is a noncurated festival, which means that there are no gatekeepers choosing who performs in the festival. All applications are accepted, and all applicants have an equal chance to be selected. Rogue Festival performances are never vetted for content, and the Rogue Festival places no restrictions on what material may be performed at the festival.

Applicants may apply in one of three divisions: Indoor Mainstage venues, which can seat up to 70 audience members; Outdoor Cabaret venues, which also seat up to 70 audience members; and Indoor Gallery venues, which seat up to 45 audience members. In each division, half of all available slots are reserved for performers from the Central Valley (Fresno County and contiguous counties).

Each application will be charged a nonrefundable application fee of $40. Performers selected for the Rogue Festival will be charged a venue fee of $250-$600, depending on venue division. For a full description of Rogue venues and fees, please see the Rogue Festival website.

One hundred percent of all ticket sales during the Rogue Festival are paid directly to performers

About the Rogue Festival:

Founded in 2002 by Fresno playwright Marcel Nunis, the Rogue Festival is now one of the oldest and best respected Fringe theater festivals in North America. The Rogue is an uncurated, unjuried, uncensored festival — performers are selected through a random lottery and there are no restrictions on what performers can say or do. In an age of book bannings and threats to free speech, the Rogue Festival stands firm for unrestricted artistic expression and celebrates the power of outsider art to challenge society.

The Rogue Festival features independent artists performing their own original work, often for the first time. The Rogue provides a venue for artists to present their most daring and experimental work and gives audiences a unique chance to see new, bold and utterly unconventional performances before anyone else. At the Rogue Festival, only the audience judges what is good or bad.
