Rose stars Sally Wingert and is directed by Hayley Finn. The play weaves 80 years of memories into a personal portrait of Jewish identity and history from the perspective of an elderly woman sitting Shiva. Her memories weave their way all the way from a Ukrainian shtetl in the 1920's to the Holocaust, Israel and, finally, to modern American life in Atlantic City.

Rose originally ran at MJTC from August 9 - 24, 2014 and took place in private homes around the Twin Cities.

Sally Wingert (Rose) enjoys a happy relationship with the Minnesota Jewish Theater Company. Rose marks her fourth one woman show with MJTC. Sally was most recently seen as Maria Callas in Master Class at Theater Latté Da.

She was awarded a 2014 McKnight Theater Artist Fellowship as well as a 2014 Ivey Award.
