Delighting audiences and impressing directors in roles that have ranged from the heartbreaking to the hilarious, Mr. Rowland brings to the performance table years of solid training and experience, a quick and creative mind, a steadfast work ethic, and a cooperative attitude that bespeaks his onstage generosity to his fellow actors.

Inspired early and taught by a topflight professional, his ability to bring theater-goers to laughter and tears is the result of effort and dedication that bear fruit with each performance.

In every production and set of circumstances, whether called upon to continually improvise new bits of business for his character, or follow to the letter the highly specific instructions of a detail-focused director, Mr. Rowland proves himself ready and able to deliver the goods.

In addition to his well-honed talents as an actor, his experience and abilities as a musician, poet, and classical guitarist and composer have more than once assisted a production, even to being asked to write and perform his own music in a production of “Much Ado About Nothing.”

In an unusual turn that adds to the polymath mix, this Connecticut native, who hails from an old New England family that first arrived in the New World in the 1600s, is also a trained physicist who views obstacles through the analytical eyes of a mathematician, and approaches them with the cool reasoning of a problem-solver.

With all this as his background, it’s no surprise that Mr. Rowland infuses every performance with a combination of well-disciplined skill and unbounded creative passion that has won the enthusiastic applause of Connecticut audiences. In his ongoing journey as an actor he continues to seek out new roles, new challenges, and the incalculable possibilities of the yet undiscovered.
