“Growth as an actor and as a human being are synonymous.”
~Stella Adler
Lizzy is a graduate of the
Stella Adler Studio of Acting’s
Professional Conservatory.
She also graduated Summa Cum Laude from Holy Apostles College with a Bachelor’s Degree in English in the Humanities and Philosophy.
Lizzy’s love for the works of Shakespeare lit a major fire behind her love for the arts.
Lizzy was first exposed to Shakespeare’s plays in third grade, when she had the opportunity to play Puck in a local production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Ever since then, Lizzy has been fascinated by the relevance, nuance, and simple humanity in classical works and is committed to keeping their legacies alive in adventurous, exciting ways. She has acted in, directed, and produced countless Shakespearean works, and she founded the Masquerade Theatre in order to continue to make Shakespeare accessible to modern audiences. The play’s the thing!
