MUSE photographer
                 John alden

  Thirty-five years of working with light, in both film and digital
capture.
  John has been a professional photographic artist for over 30 years.
Those decades found him traveling through most of California and
photographing hundreds of thousands of people, creating imagery
and making friends.
  In the early 1990s he discovered Adobe and their flagship product,
Photoshop, and started a relationship with a software program that
continues to this day.
   Today, John incorporates his ideas into the expanding line
of additional Adobe products: using them to manipulate pixels
and create new and enhanced realities. He continues to work on
understanding the relationship of light and dark and ultimately,
content, and the impact it all has in a final, completed work.
  John continues his work as a photographer today, exploring new
gear, expanded software, and options, as well as managing the daily
business of Fresno Music Academy & Arts with his wife, Debi Ruud.
MARCH 1-9, 2019 - Rogue Festival
A note from the
             executive directors
                                            From the beginning of the Rogue
                                       Festival in 2002, the Rogue Muse has
                                       been selected to honor a visual artist
                                       from the Fresno community.
                                            For this, the eighteenth annual Rogue
                                       Festival, we decided to do something a
                                       little bit different. We’re still honoring an
                                       artist, but this year we wanted to honor
                                       the artist who conceived and created the
                                       Rogue Festival, Fresno playwright and
                                       director Marcel Nunis.
                                            It’s no exaggeration to say that the
                                       Rogue Festival is Marcel’s baby, and if it
                                       weren’t for Marcel, the Rogue Festival
                                       never would have been conceived.
                                            When the Rogue Festival was first
                                       planned and launched, in 2001–2002,
Marcel had a remarkable vision: A noncurated, nonjuried theater festival that
would impose no restrictions on artists. A theater festival that would pay 100
percent of its box office to performers. A theater festival where the audience
would show up on time, dammit! So far, we’ve succeeded in meeting two of
Marcel’s three goals.
   Building a great theater festival takes more than vision, though—it also
takes planning, organization, and leadership. For the first few years of the
Rogue’s existence, Marcel was the indispensable chieftain of our organization,
welding a group of scruffy, independent artist-types into a vicious street
gang of arts producers who work tirelessly to create a great experience for
performers and audience.
   There are a lot of people to thank for making the 2019 Rogue Festival
possible: our hard-working volunteers, our fantastic performers, the great
Tower businesses who provide our performance spaces, our generous
sponsors, and above all, you, the audience.
   But let us pause and give a special tip of the pith helmet to the man who
made all of this possible—our founder, Marcel Nunis. Cheers!

9 tips for happy rogueing
1. GET A ROGUE WRISTBAND
       A Rogue wristband is required for entry to EVERY Rogue
       performance. Rogue wristbands cost just $5. You can buy your Rogue
       wristband on the Rogue website, at any Rogue venue, or at The Rogue
       Store, located in the Revue parking lot.

2. BUY TICKETS AT THE DOOR OR ONLINE
     You can purchase tickets to any performance with cash or credit at the
     door, starting 30 minutes before the performance. Or you can buy tickets in
     advance at roguefestival.ticketleap.com.

3. OR BUY A 10-SHOW TICKET
     If you’re going to do a lot of Rogueing, buy a 10-Show Ticket and save up
     to $20! A 10-Show Ticket costs $100, and is available at The Rogue Store.

4. ARRIVE EARLY
     All Rogue performances start ON TIME. Some Rogue shows
     allow latecomers to enter up to 15 minutes after the start time. Other
     Rogue shows do not allow latecomers at all. (Show listings will tell you if
     latecomers are allowed.)

5. NO, SERIOUSLY, ARRIVE EARLY!
     All seating is general seating. Your ticket guarantees you a seat, but
     not a specific seat.

6. TURN OFF YOUR @#$%! CELL PHONE
     Be courteous to performers and audience—please silence your ringer and
     don’t talk, text, or take photos during the show. But we’d love it if you
     mention great shows on social media! Use our hashtag, #roguefestival.

7.   POST A REVIEW
     Did you love it? Did you hate it? Either way, our performers want to hear
     from you. Post your review at fresnoroguefestival.com.

8. BUY ROGUE TCHOTCHKES!
     Buy attractive and collectible Rogue T-shirts, buttons, and wristbands
     at The Rogue Store.

9. BE SAFE
     Take sensible precautions while enjoying the Rogue Festival. Lock your
     vehicle. Store valuables in your trunk. Don’t walk alone at night.

                   1           in the United States, five Mexicans and a teen

                               border patrol, to open their sealed boxcar in the

          La Lingvo Internacia por
          Komunikado Universala!
