“Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors ( A Subway Musical and Romance)” is the musical journey of a man and a woman, caught – both in a subway car and in life.  The characters travel musically from their past through their present to their questions and hopes for the future.  Mr. Rose’s score has elements of classic American Theatre, popular and rock motifs, filtered through his own style and combined to reflect the many moods of the characters’ journeys. 

“Stand Clear Of The Closing Doors” premiered as a reading in the “Notes From A Page” reading series last year, to strong acclaim.  It will be making its full staging premiere in the “Dream Up” Festival.
