About.

Rosalie grew up in the mountains of the vibrant and artistic community of Ashland, Oregon, the home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. The good fortune of having access to high quality live theatre had a huge impact on her appreciation of the power of storytelling. She was able to study with actors and directors from the Festival and was accepted into their Summer Seminar, along with 63 other students from around the world. The theatre training she received emphasized a collaborative and strong ensemble based process—something to which she still adheres.

Rosalie received a BA in Theatre from Illinois Wesleyan University, where she received the alumni talent scholarship from Bill Damaschke (producer of broadway’s Moulin Rouge, Head of Animation at Warner Bros) and graduated magna cum laude. She trained in voice/dialect, movement, Shakespeare, music, dance, directing, and philosophy (to mix things up a bit). Her sophomore year she was accepted into the university’s sketch comedy troupe (for something totally different than she’d ever done). There she discovered the joy of writing and performing heightened comedy, eventually becoming troupe leader.

After graduating, Rosalie moved to Los Angeles where she now writes, directs, and continues to act (film, television, and theatre.) Most recently her debut short film, The Hostess, which she directed, wrote, and acted in, was selected for 13 film festivals and won awards for Best Women Short and Best Acting Duo. 

When she's not working you can find her spending quality time with her cats (Mini and Eva), at a movie theatre, or at Aerial Physique where she pursues another passion—hanging from the ceiling on pretty fabrics.
