Full-Length Musical, drama / 2 Women, 6 Men + Chorus

​

Book & Lyrics by Derek P. Hassler

The Story

The White Rose is a daring new rock musical that ignites the true story of six young visionaries who risked everything to stand up to tyranny in 1942 Germany. With the world at war and their country consumed by fear and violence, a group of University of Munich students dared to raise their voices in defiance. Armed only with words and conviction, they launched a secret leaflet campaign against the Nazi regime, risking their lives in the process.

​

Driven by a pulsing punk-pop-rock score, this sung-through musical captures both the beauty and the urgency of youth in revolt. The White Rose were bold, rebellious, and unafraid to throw the middle finger to oppression, even when the odds were impossible. Their passion and defiance echo across generations, reminding us of the power of conviction, the fire of resistance, and the courage it takes to fight for what you believe in.

​

The White Rose is more than a history lesson—it’s a visceral, electrifying theatrical experience that celebrates heroes who chose to act, no matter the consequence. Inspiring and unapologetically raw, the show blazes with energy, heartbreak, and hope, leaving audiences moved and ignited to carry their spirit forward.
