Rogue Theater in the Press

The Importance of Being Earnest

"One couldn't do much better than Rogue Theater's respectful and luminous The Importance of Being Earnest." -- Brian Kirst - Chicago Free Press

"...Skilled ensemble...Ryan McCabe does sharp mug work...Sarah Fineout is captivating...a pitch-perfect Nate White resists the criminal temptation to not steal the show." -- Brian Nemtusak - Chicago Reader

Like Monkeys

"Director Dan Foss coaxes remarkably natural, engaging performances from principal Eve Rounds and the other actors." -- Brian Nemtusak - Chicago Reader

Rogue 8 - Issue #1

"Director (Dan) Telfer has assembled a delightfully off-kilter cast, especially Amanda Lanier as a cigar-smoking ass kicker, Tilt...Highly Recommended." -- Kerry Reid - Chicago Reader

The Stoic

" Under the unhurried direction of Dan Foss, a cast of Rogue Theater regulars delivers sturdy performances, White’s taciturn Tom providing stark verbal contrast to Lisa Stran White’s strident Kate, with Kipp Moorman, Amanda Lanier and Dan Waters contributing able support as the innocents forced to flee the final conflict." -- Mary Shen Barnidge - Windy City Times

Rogue's Oresteia

"Rogue Theater's Oresteia trilogy deserves attention for its sheer ambition alone. That the project succeeds on so many levels is just an added bonus." -- Hedy Weiss - Chicago Sun-Times

"The cumulative power of the trilogy in repertory is not to be underestimated." -- Nina Metz - Chicago Tribune

Quality Street

"The most engaging element of this highly entertaining production was the brilliant ensemble. Every member of the cast had shining moments right from the very beginning, creating an enchanting triumph. Under the wonderful direction of Dan Foss, this stunning cast doesn't miss a chance at creating a darling play." -- Venus Zarris - Gay Chicago Magazine (Quality Street was also named among the "Best of Stage 2005" by Gay Chicago Magazine)

Judith

"Under the capable direction of Nate White (also a regal Holofernes), the actors give Giraudoux's didactic text emotional vigor in this uncluttered, thought-provoking evening. Lisa Stran White projects a tragic dignity as Judith." -- Mary Shen Barnidge - Chicago Reader

Man and Superman

"Lisa Stran (done up in full Gibson Girl regalia by costumer Elyzabeth Adler) and Nate White swap repartee with an alacrity worthy of Beatrice and Benedick, supported by players likewise brimming with vigor in defiance of post-opening enervation." -- Mary Shen Barnidge - Windy City Times
