Kacie Rogers: No Permission Required
Kacie Rogers- actor, writer, producer, and community builder. This is a conversation rooted in theatre, process, and legacy. A two-time NAACP Award winner trained at AMDA, Kacie has worked with many of Los Angeles’ vital theatre companies, including The Robey Theatre Co., IAMA, The Fountain Theatre, Outside In Theatre, Skylight Theatre, A Noise Within, and the Geffen Playhouse, alongside screen work on Curb Your Enthusiasm, Grace & Frankie, Grand Crew, and Home Economics.
We talk about her acclaimed one-woman show I Sell Windows, the emotional and cultural weight of Furlough’s Paradise, as well as the creation of Bottle Tree Theatre Co., an artist-led ecosystem centered on storytelling and community.
Kacie also has breaking news: she’s pitching her first feature film and stepping into Octopus’s Garden, an Outside In x Boston Court x Circle X co-production premiering March 7 at Boston Court in Pasadena. This is a conversation about building what you wish existed and inviting others to grow it with you.

What is The Frogs?
Alex & Tobie travel to different theater communities in LA to explore what’s happening on the ground. They have conversations with some of the world’s most renowned theater practitioners. Discussing broad topics: theater, film, TV, music, current events—all viewed through the lens of theater and culture. The Frogs will get people excited about the theater by first conquering our city (LA), then the country, and eventually the world—by engaging the community in meaningful conversations about the arts. The Frogs are unapologetically Black, theater nerd culture, mixed with real-world energy. It’s intellectual and ratchet, classy but down-to-earth.
