Neta J. Rose (they/them) is a proud Ashkenazi Jewish queer non-binary redheaded tomboy-fem geek – as well as an actor, visual artist, poet, and theatre creator based in Toronto/Tkaronto. They are a founding member of Create! Youth Theatre, in Scotland, now entering its 13th year.
Neta’s adventures include directing plays in a very cold barn in the Scottish Highlands, giving tours of Graffiti Alley and Kensington Market, wearing a full Victorian costume to host strawberry tea parties in Halifax, and traveling to North-West Ontario with a wee mobile recording studio to listen to local stories and make art out of them.
Theatre credits include: Henry G20 (Luminato), The Omnibus Bill (TACTICS), The Bonds of Interest (Odyssey), The Penelopiad (Hart House), Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night (Foxtail – UK), Heart of a Dog (Nowadays Theatre/Next Stage), and 1184 (Phoenix Arts/Aga Khan). Their writing has recently been published in Salty Magazine and in the Pandemic Poetry chapbook by Buddies in Bad Times.
