AboutRose and the Rime is a fantasy play written by the House Theatre of Chicago's creative team Nathan Allen, Chris Mathews, and Jake Minton in 2006.[2] The play has a run time of about 85 minutes. The creation of Rose and the Rime followed the House Theatre's success with their original play Sparrow in the previous season. Rose and the Rime balances a fantastical plot with the human themes of greed, power, birth and age.[3]SynopsisThe Michigan town of Radio Falls has been trapped in a perpetual winter for an entire generation, cursed by the Rime Witch and her magic coin to an eternal blizzard that blocks every way in or out of the town. The last moment of warmth and passion in Radio Falls gave the town its only remaining child; a young girl named Rose, who is determined to save the town from the Rime Witch's curse. Her success, however, comes at a cost. The magic of the witch's coin can either nurture or destroy those who possess it, and Rose and her town begin to understand the true ramifications of power.[4] Original TeamOriginal CastPrior to its first professional run, Rose and the Rime debuted at the DeWitt Center Main Stage at Hope College in Holland, Michigan in April 2007. The Hope College production was workshopped by guest artist Nathan Allen, the artistic director of The House Theatre of Chicago, who began work with Hope College students in 2006 in monthly workshops for actors, directors, theatre technicians and writers. His work with the students developed into Allen's residency at the college in March and April 2007, when the first run of the production was staged. The Hope College production of Rose and the Rime starred Rachel Wells as Rose, held a cast of around 25 students, and was directed by Allen.[1] The first professional production of Rose and the Rime was done by The House Theatre of Chicago and staged at the Chopin Theatre. The original production ran from February 19, 2009 to April 11, 2009.[5]

Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune reviewed both the 2009 and 2014 Chicago versions of the play,[11] and was able to contrast both the writing and staging of the production and the cultural context in which each version was received.[8] His review of the 2009 version can be found here, and his review of the 2014 version can be found here. Overall, critics comment on the use of space and movement in the play, praising the physical action and energy that stays high throughout the entirety of the play.[9] Some critics found the play to be somewhat lacking in dialogue, and in the development of the various characters.[12] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Merrell|first1=Sue|title=Hope College play 'The Rose and the Rime' to bloom on Kennedy Center stage|url=http://blog.mlive.com/grpress/2008/04/hope_college_play_rose_and_the.html|website=Michigan Live Media Group|publisher=Advance Digital|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Chicago’s House Theatre Stages "Rose and the Rime"|url=http://myhope.hope.edu/s/425/social.aspx?sid=425&gid=1&pgid=253&cid=1157&ecid=1157&ciid=1084&crid=0|website=MyHope|publisher=Hope College|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=Barnidge|first1=Mary Shen|title=THEATER REVIEW Rose and the Rime|url=http://www.windycitytimes.com/gay/lesbian/news/ARTICLE.php?AID=20603|website=Windy City Times|publisher=Windy City Media Group|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=Williams|first1=Albert|title=Rose and the Rime|url=http://events.chicagoreader.com/events/Event?oid=937247|website=Chicago Reader|publisher=Sun-Times Media LLC|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 5. ^First professional production of Rose and the Rime 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Fuge|first1=Tristan|title=Cast and Creative Team Announced for House Theatre's Rose and the Rime|url=http://www.theatermania.com/chicago-theater/news/01-2009/cast-and-creative-team-announced-for-house-theatre_17292.html|website=Theater Mania|publisher=Theater Mania|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Brown|first1=Donald|title=Winter is Us|url=http://www.newhavenreview.com/index.php/2014/10/winter-is-us/|website=New Haven Review|publisher=New Haven Review|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 8. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Jones|first1=Chris|title=Amid bewitched weather, here comes the sun at House|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-01-29/entertainment/ct-ent-0130-rime-review-20140129_1_house-theatre-rime-nathan-allen|website=Chicago Tribune|publisher=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 9. ^1 {{cite web|last1=Thomason|first1=John|title=Rose and the Rime Soars at the Arsht Center|url=http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/cultist/2014/04/rose_and_the_rime_soars_at_the.php|website=Miami New Times|publisher=Miami New Times LLC|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 10. ^{{cite web|last1=Dolen|first1=Christine|title=The clever 'Rose and the Rime' is a stage fairy tale that mixes sweetness with darker themes|url=http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/ent-columns-blogs/christine-dolen/article1963415.html|website=Miami Herald|publisher=Miami Herald|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Jones|first1=Chris|title=Theater review: 'Rose and the Rime'|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2009-02-24/entertainment/0902230416_1_fairy-tale-rime-magical|website=Chicago Tribune|publisher=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} 12. ^{{cite web|last1=Buscani|first1=Lisa|title=Review: Rose and the Rime/House Theatre of Chicago|url=http://newcitystage.com/2009/02/27/review-rose-and-the-rimethe-house-theatre-of-chicago/|website=New City Stage|publisher=Newcity Communications|accessdate=November 13, 2014}} External links
