Rose Gold
UW Memorial Union-Play Circle 800 Langdon St., Madison, Wisconsin 53706
If you missed the one-woman hip-hop play Rose Gold when it debuted in Madison in 2015, here’s your chance to see UW alum Zhalarina Sanders’ acclaimed work. The play centers around a woman named Bobbie, and her search to find the child she hasn’t seen in 11 years. Deftly mixing poetry, monologue, rapping and dance, the play delves into the difficult process of healing from trauma. Sanders’ talent for storytelling ties together the seven different women she plays in this psychological and emotional drama.
The show is set to go up in Memorial Union’s Play Circle Theater on Saturday, Feb. 24, at 7pm and on Sunday, Feb. 25, at 3pm. There is no ticket cost and the show is appropriate for those aged 12 and older.
