April 2024: Twin Cities Theater Chat (S2/E22 Mainstage: Em Rosenberg & the Guthrie History Plays)

December 2022: One of three Twin Cities actors highlighted in The Stages of MN 2022 “Must-Not-Miss” List

—————

Chris Hewitt, Star Tribune (Top Girls, Theatre Pro Rata)

“Rosenberg, who played a ferocious warrior in the opening scene, returns as Marlene's inarticulate niece, who is filled with anger she doesn't know what to do with… Rosenberg is the standout in the nimble ensemble.”

Jay Gabler, The Tangential (Top Girls, Theatre Pro Rata)

“Rosenberg’s badass Dull Gret uses her few words well… Rosenberg [is] grippingly enthusiastic.”

Scott Melamed, Racket MN (Romeo and Juliet, The Gray Mallard Theater Co.)

“Rosenberg plays Romeo as witty and a bit nerdy, well-attuned to when to strike with passion. They’re funny, seamlessly modulating between the teen’s cool and heat. Rosenberg has a real talent for listening and responding to scene partners…”

“Rosenberg’s humor shines.”

The Stages of MN (Mary’s Wondrous Body, The Birth Play Project)

“Rosenberg has been on my one to watch for awhile now and once again they reminded me why. Towards the end of the show, they have a moment of song that was beyond anything I’d seen or known they were capable of before.”

The Stages of MN (Bernhardt/Hamlet, Theatre Pro Rata)

“ ‘The stand out for me was (Em) Rosenberg’…could just as easily be the start of my comments regarding Rosenberg in every show I’ve seen them in. Rosenberg is cast not based on gender, but because they are the best actor for the role of Rostand. We completely believe this version of Rostand even as we know he is in most ways a fiction of the playwright.”

Cherry and Spoon (Top Girls, Theatre Pro Rata)

“Rosenberg (a haunting performance as the troubled Angie).”

The Stages of MN (Hands on a Hardbody, Minneapolis Musical Theater)

“One final performer I want to take note of is Em Rosenberg… Every once in awhile you come across an actor that you can just tell is someone to keep an eye on. Rosenberg has something, I don’t think we’ve seen their best work yet, but it’s coming.”
