ROSE AND THE RIME is set in the fictional Michigan town of Radio Falls, which has been trapped in a perpetual winter for a generation.

Snow and ice coat every tree branch and telephone wire, and the constant blizzard surrounding the town means there's no way in or out. The last moment of heated passion brought the town it’s only remaining youth: a girl named Rose. It is up to her to save Radio Falls from the vicious curse of the Rime Witch.

But when she succeeds, Radio Falls discovers the witch's magic coin has two sides... ROSE AND THE RIME is a modern version of The House's favorite myth – a reminder that anything powerful enough to fulfill your dreams is powerful enough to destroy them.

Originally developed by Nathan Allen with students at Hope College, Rose and the Rime was selected by the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival to perform at The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC 4/17/08.
