Discovering Rogue

by Christian Kiley

Rogue has the best beachfront property ever. Right on the ocean – location, location, location. Her home happens to be a cardboard box but she doesn’t mind.

Others, though, mind very much. They want Rogue to leave the beach. Now. But she isn’t budging. Rogue isn’t just running away from home; she’s running away from herself.

Praise for Discovering Rogue

3 out of 5 stars
Michael Yoson
Piscataway HIgh School
The play allowed students to explore characters, and exposed actors/audiences to a more abstract form of storytelling.
