Established in 2003, Roza's Theatre is a vehicle for the talents of the well-known poet, dramatist, actor, and translator Andrej Rozman Roza. Rozman prepares his own productions, ranging from simple street performances and children's shows to satirical performances for adults. In 2009 Rozman received the Župančič Award of the City of Ljubljana for achievements in the field of culture.

Based at the KUD France Prešeren in Ljubljana, Roza's Theatre has thus far produced five performances for adults and two for children. Andrej Rozman Roza, the co-founder and during 1981-1995 the leader of Ana Monró Theatre and a receiver of several awards (Golden Bird Award 1984, Sever Award 1986, Levstik Award 1999, Fran Milčinski Ježek Award 2005), is an ingenious author, witty observer and poet. He has been engaged in hundreds of Slovene drama performances and films, both as actor and songwriter. Roza's Theatre performances are marked with humour, used as an artistic procedure, the aim of which is to present what seems self-evident in a new perspective. Roza's humour is a soft version of Slovene stand-up comedy; his performances are stamped with usage of lapsus, privatisms, performed stage directions, instances of addressing the audience and alienation affect.

Roza's Theatre performances often tackle issues connected with Slovene national identity and re-examine its mythologies. They include: Cabaret Implosium [Kabarete Simplozij] (2002), The Visit [Obisk - od monodrame do cestnega spektakla] (2004), The Miser - The Most Stingy Performance [Skopuh - najbolj skopa predstava] (2006), based on Molière's The Miser, which deals with the Slovene attitude toward language and culture within the globalised world of economic competitiveness, The Rent - We Are The Nation On The Best Location [Najmenina - We Are The Nation On The Best Location] (2007), and Passion de Pressheren (2007), the final from a series of performances dealing with Slovene identity, which by evoking the life of the Slovene Romantic poet France Prešeren discusses the idea of an autonomous country. Performances for children include The Gigantic Baloon [Balon Velikon] (2002) (also translated to English) and a co-production with Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana - Drama How Oscar Became a Detective [Kako je Oskar postal detektiv] (2009). In 2009, Roza released an album Osvežilna rimonada at Panika Records with songs from the children's performance of the same title. In his performances, Roza often collaborates with the musician Goran Završnik.

Roza, the initiator of street and improvisation theatre in Slovenia, appears in numerous festivals in Slovenia and abroad, such as Ana Desetnica International Street Theatre Festival, Festival of Monodrama, Ptuj, and Borštnik Meeting, Slovene Theatre Festival. Roza's Theatre productions tour extensively across Slovenia and make guest appearances at Slovene National Theatre (SNG) Ljubljana - Drama, Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone, Prešeren Theatre Kranj, etc.. Roza has also appeared in the Euronatal event in Lisbon, at the Kids Euro Festival 2009 in Washington, and at the Bookworld Fair in Prague in 2005.
