Em Rose Stern

Em Rose Stern is an artist born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. 

At Purchase, Em Rose had the privilege to work with renowned theatre figures including Tony Award winning Trazana Beverley, Leon Addison Brown, and Elmore James. She was afforded the opportunity to play a wide array of characters, with some of her most cherished roles being Mrs. Van Buren in Intimate Apparel dir. Chantal Jean-Pierre (2024) , Yerma in Yerma dir. Alexandru Mihail (2024), and Stephano in The Tempest dir. Elmore James (2025).

Em Rose shares profound gratitude for her professors, directors, and fellow company members whose guidance has been instrumental in her artistic journey. From her experience, she understands that true growth is not about thinking outside of the box, but rather removing the box entirely.
