This summer, when school’s out, you might want to take some time off and visit Rosalee’s class! Based on a true story, Rosalee Was Here shares the experiences of Rosalee, a girl who has issues controlling her behavior. Rosalee is forced to spend all of her time with the annoying school aid, Mrs. Kimball. Rosalee frequently tries to escape from Mrs. Kimball’s watchful eye, causing the two of them to end up in the principal’s office.
The play documents the relationships that Rosalee builds with Mrs. Kimball. Even when they don’t get along, it is obvious that Mrs. Kimball cares about Rosalee and that Rosalee does not take Mrs. Kimball for granted. The play concludes with a scene that takes place at the end of the school year and really expresses their love dynamic. No matter how many difficulties they both faced during the school year, it is hard for these two former foes to part.Despite how loud and obnoxious Rosalee is, she grew on me throughout the play, and I walked out of the play loving her! Rosalee Was Here was a remarkable play and I am delighted that I was able to see it. The acting was very realistic and the story and ideas were authentic. The concepts that were presented throughout the show made this play a truly unforgettable one. I highly recommend it.
Rosalee Was Here presented by Winterset Productions. Written by Maura Campbell and directed by Toby Ring Thelin. For more information visit www.rosaleewashere.com
