Rose and Lion Productions was founded by Robert and Sarah Collinge. Robert and Sarah met while they were attending the University of New Hampshire studying Theatre. They began dating and soon started discussing daydreams of what their dream life would be. That dream always included running their own theatre company. They married in 2021 and began building their family in 2025 with the birth of their daughter.
Robert and Sarah started Rose and Lion Productions with their family at the forefront of their dreams. They wanted their theatre company to be a welcome, comforting place where the whole family could spend time together. Whether you’re attending a performance, working backstage or on stage, Rose and Lion Productions wants to make you feel like family.
Our Mission Statement is to provide a welcoming atmosphere for people of all ages. Whether you are young, or young at heart, you have a place here.
Welcome Home.
