Los Angeles, CA (BlackNews.com) -- Actress Ella Joyce, best known for her co-starring role of Eleanor on FOX TV's “Roc” is making her highly praised, one-woman play A Rose Among Thorns, a Tribute to Rosa Parks available to book during February and March celebrations for Black History Month and Women's Month. This show returns after rave reviews from the 2009 National Black Theatre Festival, followed by a brief stage absence to work in a Warner Bros. film Preacher's Kid.

A Rose Among Thorns has performed in 25 cities around the country resulting in standing accolades, repeat visits, and several awards of appreciation including an NAACP nomination in Los Angeles.
