Rose of Athens Theatre is essential to our community, offering high-quality, engaging productions to a wide range of audience members, including a substantial number of schools groups and home school organizations. Also, RoA has provided a creative haven for hundreds of professional teaching artists, actors, artists and musicians since it’s founding in 2006. In addition to main-stage productions, the company also presents workshops to local schools and produces Rose of Athens Theatre Academy, “teaching life skills through stage skills”.

Rose of Athens Theatre has successfully presented the first part of their 5th season with a tour of Frankenstein Lives and a cheerful performance of the Holiday Spirits Tour in partnership with the Athens Historic House Museum Association. Now RoA is looking to cast roles for the fun and colorful productions of Alice in Wonderland and Shakespeare’s fairy-tale comedy As You Like It (“Shakespeare on the Lawn” at Ashford Manor). Alice in Wonderland will be presented in May 2011 and As You Like It will be presented in June 2011.
