Upon moving to Seattle 6 years ago Emily begin directing for Northwest Savoyards, Driftwood Players, Kingsplayers and Village Theatre.  Through working with these companies she began her journey of beginning her own company.

Starting her own production company has been a dream of hers for years now.  After a lot of planning and handpicking a solid production team she is now ready to bring Rogue to life!  Rogue Theatrics is here to make their audiences think, gasp, laugh and cry.  If you have any suggestions for a production, either a play or a musical, please contact us.  We're always planning ahead!

Aside from beginning this production company Emily also teaches private music lessons out of her house in Edmonds.  Visit her lesson page at: www.musicwithemily.com

Jennifer Klouse - founder, President

Jennifer received her formal music and theater education at Eastern Washington University and has over 20 years of theater and professional performing under her belt, starting early in school productions and her involvement in extracurricular, professional choirs. Since then Jennifer's passion for bringing and sharing art with others has taken her all over the world, performing in such places as Washington DC, San Francisco, Vienna, Salzburg, Prague, London, Essen, Cologne and Rome and with such greats as Tony Award winning composer Marvin Hammlisch, Grammy Award winning director Gunther Schuller and Professor Peter Schickele of PDQ Bach fame.

Recently, Jennifer realized a childhood dream and performed in Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Locally, Jennifer has worked with the Seattle Gilbert and Sullivan Society, participating in productions of the Mikado, Utopia, Ltd and HMS Pinafore at Seattle Repetory Theater; with Northwest Savoyards, playing Mrs. Sowerberry in Oliver! and Ruth in Ruddygore and, to great acclaim, reprising her role as Mrs. Sowerberry with Lyric Opera Northwest's production of Oliver! at the Moore Theater in downtown Seattle.

Jennifer spends her non theater time ardently volunteering for the Vivace! Choral Program (www.vivacechoral.com) in the South Puget Sound; a 501(c)(3) certified organization dedicated to the educating and mentoring of young artists and musicians. She is passionate about giving to kids the positive and nurturing environment she was given as a child; a safe haven of choral excellence, where kids and young adults are free to express themselves musically without  worry of prejudice or intolerance. She firmly believes there is nothing more important to the arts community than the outreach and consistent education of young artists.

On another note, Jennifer feels that coming together with such fantastic, like-minded artists to create Rogue Theatrics has been a dream come true. She thanks you for heartily supporting our endeavors and for helping keep community theater alive.
