SUMMARY:Rose: You Are Who You Eat & Rosé-Back - May 16
DESCRIPTION:Rose: You Are Who You Eat\nFriday\, May 16\, 2025 @ 7PM\nConceived\, Written\, and Performed by John Jarboe\nDirected by MK Tuomanen\nMusic Direction and accompaniment by Emily Bate\nA true story of gender cannibalism\, set to music \nOnce upon a vine\, John Jarboe’s aunt revealed that John not only had a twin sister in the womb\, but that John consumed her: “You ate her. That’s why you are the way you are.” This was a lot for John to swallow! In this musical shrine to the consumed twin\, named Rose\, John welcomes you into a feast of gender through song\, storytelling\, and a full plate of wordplay.  \nFeaturing all original music written in collaboration with Emily Bate\, John Jarboe\, and Pax Ressler.  \nContent Transparency: This performance includes themes of fetal mortality and growing up queer in Michigan in the 90s\, some graphic eating imagery and cannibal humor. Viewer discretion advised.  \nRosé-Back – FRIDAY NIGHT ONLY (May 16)!\nJoin Rose artists John Jarboe and Emily Bate for a “Rosé-Back” after the show. It’s like a “talk-back” but with rosé! Enjoy drinks\, gather around the firepit\, and stay for some post show conversation about the themes of Rose and the landscape for queer folx in Ossining. How can Ossining nurture and care for the queer and trans folx in the community? How can we find joy\, celebration\, and abundance in our genderful community even and especially when under threat. Also this is a great opportunity to mingle and flirt. – Signed\, John Jarboe \nRose was commissioned by Works & Process and developed in collaboration with The Bearded Ladies Cabaret. The work was created during the pandemic in Works & Process bubble residencies at Mount Tremper Arts and Bethany Arts Community\, with the support of the Mellon Foundation and Doris Duke Foundation. Early iterations of Rose were presented by Works & Process in the Guggenheim Rotunda (2021) Guggenheim Theater (2022)\, and CulturalDC (2022.) Rolling World Premiere at FringeArts (2023)\, La MaMa ETC (2024)\, and Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company (2024). \nPhoto Credit for Main Image: Steven Pisano \nPERFORMANCES\nFriday\, May 16\, 2025 @ 7PM + Rosé-Back (Friday Night Only) – You’re on this page now!\nSaturday\, May 17\, 2025 @ 7PM \nTICKETS\n$25 General Admission / $20 Student/Senior \nABOUT JOHN JARBOE\nJohn Jarboe (she/her) is a director\, producer\, writer\, performer\, and art activist\, and the founding artistic director of The Bearded Ladies Cabaret.  After receiving a BA and a BFA in English and Theater from the University of Michigan\, Jarboe moved to Philadelphia\, where in the past 14 years she has created and performed work for organizations including The Wilma Theater\, The Philadelphia Museum of Art\, The Barnes Foundation\, Philadelphia Horticultural Society\, FringeArts\, and Opera Philadelphia.

A native of Ossining\, where she serves as the Village Historian\, Joyce’s groundbreaking work\, particularly in the African American community\, extends beyond the boundaries of Westchester County. \nWith a BS from Mercy College and certification as a Genealogical Researcher from Boston University\, Joyce brings expertise and passion to her craft. Her engaging\, storytelling style makes her a popular speaker. Houses of worship\, libraries\, municipalities\, and schools reach out for her help in uncovering black history and culture\, subjects too long overlooked by the gatekeepers of history. She came to this calling when researching her own family history. It extends back to Bertie County\, North Carolina\, where her ancestors were enslaved on the Sharrock plantation. \nIn 2021\, New York State Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick named Joyce one of six people to receive a History & Heritage Award from for her work in creating theOssining COVID project and curating the revelatory Ossining Black History & Culture Exhibit at Bethany Arts Community\, where she sits on the board. That same year\, the Westchester County Historical Society appointed Joyce to serve as a Trustee on their board as well. The Ossining Public Library named her 2021 Volunteer of the year for her work there\, which includes lead researcher for the Little Bertie County Genealogical Society. \nHer program at Ossining High School promotes self-discovery through genealogical research. “The students learn more about themselves and see their families’ contributions to the world we live in. Knowing who you are and making connections is not only inspiring but empowering.” \nJoyce juggles all this with a day job: Confidential Executive Secretary to the Commissioner of Emergency Services of Westchester County\, Webmaster and Records Access Officer. Because she’s not busy enough\, she just launched a genealogical research business\, JSC Research LLC\, where anyone can hire her to dig into their family for them.
