Thorn & Petal,

About the event

Inspired by the biography

Louis Rose: San Diego’s First Jewish Settler by Donald H. Harrison

Before the 163, before the familiar skyline, there was a pioneer with a vision. Arriving in a nascent San Diego, Louis Rose wasn’t just one of its earliest developers; he was its first identifiable Jewish settler, weaving his cultural thread into the fabric of a growing town. Witness his incredible story, from his arrival to the unexpected challenge that thrust him into the city’s making.

Why should you sponsor?

In a year that feels like tension could boil over at any moment, Thorn & Petal teaches acceptance, resilience, and strength in the face of prejudice.

As an audience member...What can you expect from this play? 

Heres the basics: Our runtime is about 90min across 3 acts. Each act has one song. Our timeline spans about 20 years of Louis Roses life...so we're covering a lot of ground.

How about the vibe? Well, we give a little bit of everything -- theres comedy, romance, drama...but overall the goal is that you will walk away from this show feeling happy.
