Rosetta Project

Rosetta Project is a new folk-rock musical by Jenn Grinels exploring identity, freedom and gender during the Civil War.

Bridgetown Conservatory of Musical Theatre

Rosetta Project centers around the true story of Rosetta Wakeman, a young woman who presented herself as a man and joined the Union Army during the Civil War. Her adventures are forever captured in a series of letters written to her family chronicling her daily life as Private Lyons Wakeman in the 153rd New York infantry. Original songs by lyricist/ composer Jenn Grinels, bring to life this tale of freedom, gender identity and the pursuit of the American Dream.It is estimated that over 400 women fought in the Civil War. Rosetta Project weaves together the fascinating stories of these untold heroes, as they grapple with equality, identity and place.​This summer, Grinels partners with Bridgetown Conservatory of Musical Theatre to bring the first ever concert version of the Rosetta Project to life.
