We are thrilled to announce our summer production— and we can’t wait to bring it to the Como Pavilion this summer:

Big Fish – July 10-12, 16-19

This enchanting, larger-than-life story follows Edward Bloom, a man who has lived an extraordinary life filled with giants, witches, mermaids, and seemingly impossible adventures. But when his son Will returns home to care for his ailing father, he struggles to separate fact from fiction in Edward’s tall tales. Through soaring music and magical storytelling, Big Fish explores the power of imagination, the bonds of family, and the stories that define us.

With its heartwarming message and spectacular theatrical moments, Big Fish is the perfect multi-generational production—offering roles for performers of all ages and creating an unforgettable experience for audiences young and old.

opportunities this week!

Rosetown’s Spring 2024 adults show A Midsummer Night’s Dream is complete. Thank you to all performers and guests who came to see the show.

About the show:
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy play written by William Shakespeare in about 1595 or 1596. The play is set in Athens, and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. The play is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and is widely performed.

Performances were April 18-21 at the Phoenix Theater.
