Montpelier, VT. Rosalee Was Here by award winning playwright Maura Campbell will be the fifth out of the last six productions by the Green Candle Theatre Company to be authored by a Burlington Playwright. Over the past several years Green Candle has brought to life for Chittenden County audiences works by Josh Bridgman (Silent Invasion), Seth Jarvis (The Next State), Aaron Masi (The Nose), and Michael Jordan Evans (Art The Father). Green Candle Theatre Company is committed to producing the area’s leading stage talents including directors and designers as well as playwrights and Rosalee Was Here promises to be no exception.

Rosalee Darien loves singing, Shakespeare and a boy named Ethan. Arrested at the age of 11 for sexually abusing her younger sister, she is now in the eighth grade and in state custody.  Molly, an aide at school assigned to monitor her every move, tries helplessly to keep up with Rosalee but the young girl has become a master at outwitting, outmaneuvering and outrunning the system that has stripped her of most of her individual freedom. Rosalee Was Here is a funny and crazy look at what can happen when children are treated as criminals, but it is also a story about how compassion and patience have the power to transform a young person’s life.

STARRING: Liz Gilbert, Tracey Girdich, and Dennis McSorley.
