Yellow Springs Marionette Master

 Jim Rose will be at "The material culture exhibition at the 2010 Cityfolk Festival, “About Face: The World of Puppets and Masks” in Dayton, Ohio 

Yellow Springs Theatre Project

"20%" is a dramatic expose about U.S. women who have served and are currently serving in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This piece is based on testimony and current statistics about the experiences of military women, both in war and at home. Although Congress currently has imposed a ban on women serving in combat, the harsh reality is that women are in fact serving and suffering devastating casualties and consequences including PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), MST (Military Sexual Trauma), homelessness and family difficulties."  About the exhibit.
