RVC Teen Chosen for Off-Broadway Performance of 'Hello, Dolly!'

Quiana Stowe to be featured in performances at the LABA Theatre at the 14th Street Y.

Rockville Centre teen Quiana Stowe will be featured in upcoming performances of the Amas Musical Theatre's off-Broadway production of the musical "Hello, Dolly!"

The 16-year-old is a part of the Rosetta LeNoire Musical Theatre Company's Teen Academy. Stowe will join 16-year-old West Hempstead resident Aspenne Rhoden in the performances.

In the Tony-winning musical "Hello, Dolly!", the cantankerous Horace Vandergelder hires matchmaker Dolly Levi to find him a wife. Dolly soon hatches a plan to woo and win Vandergelder’s hand herself, while simultaneously arranging romantic prospects for his niece, his clerks and two of Manhattan’s most eligible shop girls.
