Rose has performed in some incredible plays - most recently in the 2024 revival of Ixion’s “Turn, Turn, Turn”. She has also directed a few pretty awesome plays - including “Let’s Fight” and “When I Come To Die”, which earned eight Thespie awards between them. She is very grateful to be one of two Associate Artistic Producers for Ixion. Rose thanks her husband Michael for his eternal love, and friends and family for their support - especially her grandson Kevin, who inspires her to be her best self for him. Congrats on 10 great years, Ixion!

Maureen Sawdon is honored to be working alongside Rose Jangmi Cooper once again as Assistant Director; the first production they worked on together as Director and Assistant Director was Riverwalk's Fabulation.

She is excited to be part of the creative process involving an amazing cast and crew, and hopes everyone enjoys the show!
