Ananda, Celebrity Judge for Berkshire Idol01 May 2006
Last night, April 29, Ananda was one of five celebrity judges at Berkshire Idol, her county's rendition of the popular reality singing show. Among the judges was Roger Rees, a famous actor who appeared in Cheers and Robin Hood Men in Tights in addition to nearly 50 other films.

"I was honored to be asked to be a judge," Ananda said. "I sat between Roger and John Souchack, who helped launch U2's career!"

The event raised $15,000 for charity and will now be an annual occurence. "It was amazing how much money was made and how many talented kids and adults participated!" Ananda exclaimed. "I had a lot of fun judging, and it was hard to pick a clear winner."

The best part of the night? "Little girls wanted my autograph!"

Ananda to sing role of Esther Smith in Meet Me in St. Louis25 Feb 2006

Ananda Rose will sing the lead role of Esther Smith in Mt. Greylock High School's production of Meet Me in St. Louis. Ananda says "For the past two months, I've been staying after school for rehearsals, which have been both fun and taxing, particularly because I'm in every scene!" Ananda get's to play the lover girl, the cute plucky adolescent who scores the dashing young man.

Opening night is March 2 at 7 PM.

"I can already picture myself standing behind the curtain, waiting to go on, palms sweaty, mouth dry. But I really can't wait to feel that pulse of excitement rip through me as I nail a high note or properly emote during a certain scene. It's been a while since I've been in a show, but the second I step out on that stage in front of a real, breathing audience, I know it'll feel incredibly exhilerating."

"Fourteen", First CD to be launched January 28, 200611 Jan 2006
"Fourteen" is the first CD of orginal songs by Ananda Rose. A personal journal, this first collection of songs delves into the thoughts and experiences of a young girl and the emotions that many teens deal with every day. From "Tornado", a whirlwind of emotions of a new relationship to "His Oblivion" dealing with the frustration of opening your heart to someone who is oblivious to your feelings, Ananda Rose captures in her lyrics a fresh take on the trials of growing up. These songs were written when Ananda was fourteen, thus the title of the CD.
