Cathy Bencivenga, Southwestern University Student

Cathy Bencivenga (behind the counter) did most of her growing up in Georgetown, though she is technically a foreigner--born in New York City to a Jewish mother and an Italian Catholic father.

After a high school career spent doing show choir and musical theater, Cathy enrolled in local Southwestern University to study theater. She has been working in Cianfrani's, a locally-owned coffee shop on the Square, to keep up with her college expenses.

Interests change, however, and Cathy is now looking for a school that offers a degree in arts management...and has apparently found one in Connecticut. "As long as I'm leaving Georgetown," she said, "I might as well get as far away as possible."
