Rosie is Red And Everybody is Blue
By John Spellos
Directed by Reginald Douglas
A 2023 NEXT ACT! Winner World Premiere
Rosie seems to be living the proverb “when it rains, it pours.” Her brother-in-law is living in her small house, driving her up one wall and down the other. To make matters worse, her down-and-out adult son has moved in too. All this while Rosie secretly battles her own problems and emotions, just trying to make it through each day.
Family is everything. However, when everybody needs something and nobody wants to listen, something has to give! Rosie is about to give it to all of them, with no holds barred.
Filled with sharp, witty banter, this fast-paced and heartfelt comedy about family will have you in tears…both happy and heartwarming.
