Join the movement, leave a legacy.

“Because I see you, I know I’m gonna be okay.” This is what I hear time and again after the shows I produce.

I’d been a traveling actor for six years when I realized just how much money I was losing to work.

I knew I wasn’t the only actor struggling to make ends meet while performing, especially outside major theatre cities.

Roguish Goblin Stories is changing that.

We’re dedicated to paying our artists incredibly well, and crafting stories together.

When you become an RGS Investor, you get to take an active part in shaping the stories we tell and the lives we change.

Remember that show you saw that made you feel invisible? That comment from a coworker that made you think, “I’ll never be accepted here?” That’s what I help people with. 

I help trans/aspec folks and allies find family through Shakespeare and fantasy so that people can stop feeling isolated and connect with folks and stories who WELCOME them. The way I do that is by producing videos, podcasts, and shows that center queer humanity through healing stories where their queerness (or their trauma) isn’t the main plot. We just get to be on adventures together.

This is more than just another streaming platform. I’m building live watch parties into the programming to foster real-time connection with real people who love you as you are, which is why my approach is so effective. 

For example, I had a student at one of my Shakespeare performances come up to me afterwards and say, “I used to feel alone, but now that I’ve seen you perform, I know I’m gonna be okay.”

This is the perfect time to get in on the ground floor and be a part of how we grow. Because where we laugh, learn and lament together, we become family.

The investment to get started today is only $5 or $10/month, depending on how much behind-the-scenes you want to see.

Can’t wait to welcome you to the party!
