Your Questions, Answered

  • I see my work with RGS growing to build theatres that also build affordable housing and community gardens.

    Where theatres lead the way in returning stolen lands to their original indigenous caretakers.

    Where RGS can build in-person social infrastructure for aspec people.

    I’m tackling what it means to tell aspec and non-binary stories. Not just by including whole, complex trans and aspec characters, but by experimenting with aspec and non-binary narrative structures.

  • I don’t see another streaming platform focused on building in-person social infrastructure, particularly for the aspec community.

    I’m not just providing entertainment. I’m using story arts (theatre, fiction, poetry, video) to give consistent, tangible evidence that you’re loved and you’re not alone.

  • I publish my poetry on my Substack: https://beksroen.substack.com/

  • You can contact me to license my plays here. Basic terms are as follows:

    1. $400 per every weekend of performances (Wednesday-Sunday) that the theater will be staging my play (half of the total lump sum paid up front, non refundable before the first day of rehearsal starts) 

    2. Travel reimbursement if the performance is more than 50 miles away. Accommodations if applicable.

    3. An agreement from the theater to send dress rehearsal photos and/or performance photos.

    4. An agreement that my (the playwright's) name will appear directly below or directly after the title of the play on all programs, promotional materials and publicity materials

    5. If possible, a video recording of the production to be hosted on my platform Roguish Goblin Stories, with a link back to your theatre

    6. I am happy to discuss holding talkbacks as part of my visit to the performance.
