Maren Rosenberg
Uprising Theater Co-Artistic Director

As Uprising Theater’s Co-Artistic Director, Maren Rosenberg, says in The Olive Tree, “People have stories, and stories are what help me understand.” The Olive Tree is a one-woman play by Maren exploring her privilege as a Jewish-American woman living in the region and helping us better understand this complex conflict and the personal stories behind the headlines. Rather than focusing on the inherent tragedy, the play tackles this critical humanitarian issue with humor and heart. Uprising’s founder, and director of this production, Iymen Chehade calls this play “a testament to the will and spirit of the Palestinian people.”
