Originally produced in the NYFringe in 2009, From The Same Cloth is Megan Auster-Rosen's autobiographical play about her journey to Africa and the plane crash that ended her travels and took her father's life. This new incarnation of the play includes Megan's father as a character, and details her attempts to complete his unfinished memoir and her search for closure through the medium of live theater.

 
From The Same Cloth
 
In 1971 Ken Rosen traveled to Sierra Leone with the Peace Corps, forging a deep connection with West Africa that he would weave into the rest of his life. Thirty years later his daughter Megan traveled to Ghana, searching for a similar experience, but it wasn't until her father joined her that her eyes opened to all that surrounded her. A plane crash during his visit brought their time together to a sudden and tragic close.
 
Built from fragments of Ken Rosen's unfinished memoirs and the playwright's recollections of her own experience in Africa, From the Same Cloth is Megan Auster-Rosen's journey towards understanding her father and discovering herself. Since its run in the NYFringe, the play has been restructured and updated under the direction of Aaron Rossini and Fault Line Theatre. Megan Auster-Rosen tells her own story, playing twenty characters in addition to herself. She is joined by actor Jacques Roy as her father.
