The White Rose
Book & Lyrics by Jenne Wason Music by Alan Cancelino
A true story. A new musical.
Munich, 1942. While everyone around them endured in silence, a group of University students chose to speak out against the atrocities happening in their country.
Sophie Scholl, her brother Hans, and their friends started a resistance movement in a time when movements seemed impossible. They risked everything to create and distribute leaflets denouncing Hitler.
Their movement was growing— until they paid the ultimate price. Still they would not be silent. Allied planes flew over Europe dropping the Leaflets of The White Rose. Their words offered hope to a desperate nation. In this new musical drama, their voice lives on.
