Rosetown Playhouse's "Twist of Fate" a success, with performances at the MN Fringe Festival!

Although we have mostly blogged about our sports and playground programs this summer, Roseville Parks and Recreation offers many programs in the arts and theater thanks to a longstanding partnership with the Rosetown Playhouse.


 "Twist of Fate" debuted last weekend at Villa Park. The play depicts two worlds and two cultures working together as one. Stranded on a deserted island after cyclones hit Burma and the U.S., both Karen and American teens learn to work together to survive.

Check out pictures from their show below!

Playwright and Director Tyler Olsen welcomes the audience to the show.

The group of American teens curiously checks out their surroundings after being stranded on the island.

The Karen teens, with some dressed in traditional outfits, also survey the island and their new home.

With the conflicts of living on a deserted island inevitable, the teens face off.

The two groups eventually learn to work together.

Dancing was scattered throughout the show!

St. Paul teen Sarah Smith leads the group in a dance.
