Rosie Allenson, the Westfield Playhouse's Youth Advisory Council Co-Chairman, is thrilled to have the opportunity to bring theatre back to the stage in a safe, responsible way! First and foremost, she would like to extend her thanks to Main Street Productions for allowing the Youth Advisory Council to put on this timeless family-favorite and hopes that audiences enjoy it from the comforts of their own homes. Rosie has been very privileged to have taken part in several shows around the community, but some of her favorites include Picnic (Millie), Nunsense II: The Second Coming (Sr. Mary Leo), Spelling Bee (Olive), and, most recently, Pygmalion (Eliza Doolittle). She is excited to continue her theatrical journey at New York City's American Academy of Dramatic Arts this fall! Love to Mom, Dad, and the BAA family. Romans 15:7.
