We holla at actors Williams and Rowland to get more details about Law & Disorder. Williams also wrote and produced the play along with Monika Ross. And when Rowland is not prepping for the play, she’s singing on the local level.

vigoronline.com:What’s the play about?
Williams: This clever production of Law & Disorder is a multimedia stage play that fuses film, song, a live band and amazing acting into one spectacular show. This play is designed not only to entertain, but also to educate and bring awareness to the HIV/AIDS epidemic …

What can the audience look forward to?
Williams: Viewers can look forward to a strong plot that will keep your interest from beginning to end. Be amazed by the homegrown talent that truly steps up to the plate to meet the standards of a Broadway production … The production has no choice but to be a success.

How did you land a leading role in the play?
Rowland: I landed the leading role by attending the tryouts. I saw the event info on Facebook and said to a friend, ‘you know what, I haven’t acted in a long time, but Imma give it a shot.’ And then to my surprise, I landed a lead role in the production. So exciting.

What new music projects are you working on?
Rowland: I am working on new music and brainstorming many new ideas for a new CD. I want to make sure my next project is all the way right for ya’ll. But you know I’ll keep you posted.
