White Rose is the true story of a group of German university students who secretly met to write, print, and dis-tribute leaflets exposing Hitler’s lies and deception to their fellow Germans during WWII. In the musical, Sophie Scholl arrives in Munich to join her brother, Hans, at the university. Inspired by a rebellious professor, Sophie joins with a group of fellow students to meet, discuss, and carry out their plans for resisting Nazi rule.
