SIX QUESTIONS for Rosie Sowa

HOMETOWN: Cumberland, RI

FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR: Coffee Heath Bar Crunch or Passionfruit

IF I WERE A SEA CREATURE I WOULD BE A sting ray because they like the tropics and can be graceful and gentle but then they can take that stinger and surprise you!

FIRST ACTING GIG: First professional gig was at Toby's Dinner Theater in Maryland playing Frenchy in Grease.

MOST EMBARRASSING ONSTAGE MOMENT:  I played Lois in Kiss Me, Kate! While doing a big song and dance number where Lois dances with several
suitors, my classical-style skirt came right off and left me dancing in my skivvies.  Fortunately, Lois is a flirtatious character and I played along. What? Of COURSE that was supposed to happen!

FAVORITE NYC SUMMER ACTIVITY (BESIDES FRINGENYC): Margaritas at an outdoor cafe with friends.
