CENTERstage Productions is proud to present the family musical comedy Really Rosie. Book and lyrics by Maurice Sendak, and music by Carole King. Directed by AnnChris Warren and with Musical Direction by Jasha Woodall. Choreography by the Center for Creative Education and Cedric James.

Rosie, the sassiest kid on her block of Brooklyn’s Avenue P, entertains herself and her friends by acting out showbiz fantasies, notably directing and starring in an Oscar-winning movie. Really Rosie follows a typical day in the life of several neighborhood friends. Her friends are bored on a summer afternoon and self-proclaimed leader Rosie does not believe in being bored. She decides to film the story of her life, casting them all in supporting roles. 

Written by the author and illustrator of Where the Wild Things Are and other popular children’s books, Really Rosie is a jewel for children and adults. Author Maurice Sendak is the winner of a Caldecott Medal, National Book Award, and a National Medal of the Arts. Composer Carole King is the winner of a National Academy of Songwriters Lifetime Achievement Award, a Grammy Trustees Award, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Library of Congress’s Gershwin Award for Popular Song.

This production is generously Sponsored by County Executive Marcus Molinaro through the Dutchess County Department of Planning and Development.
