This interview highlights George and Josh Jacobstein, the Owner and COO, respectively, of Rose Brand, the largest supplier of theatrical fabric and stage curtains in North America.

Bill Sapsis, BackStage Pass executive producer, noted: “Rose Brand’s history is a true ‘rags to rich velour’ tale, with George leading the transition from a small company in lower Manhattan supplying cleaning fabrics to general industry in the 1920s to a large organisation provided stage curtains, fabric and theatrical supplies to the entertainment industry around the world. The Rose Brand story, and its continuing commitment to the theatre business, is one that may surprise and definitely will inspire you.”
