THE CURTAIN IS CLOSED, FOR NOW

3/24/2020

The Color Purple tour had its last performance on Friday March 12th. When Elizabeth was sent home due to Corona Virus concerns 10 days ago, she was told it would only be for a month while the virus calmed down. No one could anticipate we were entering into a pandemic that would impact the industry all over the world. Elizabeth is glad to have had the opportunity to tell this story over 100 times in over 25 states across the country. Hopefully on the other side of this, the show will go back on the road.

sofia takes the stage

Though Elizabeth has been having an AMAZING time playing Darlene the church lady, she was thrilled at the opportunity to finally play the role she understudies: Sofia. It definitely came in a way she wasn't expecting. It was the 100th show of the tour and 15 minutes into the show, she was pulled off stage and thrust into the role for the first time in front of an audience. The adrenaline got her through it, and her cast was very instrumental in her success. Hopefully she'll have more opportunities to play the role from the start of the show!

THE COLOR PURPLE IS BACK!

The time has come for The Color Purple to get back on the road! The past few weeks of rest over the holidays have been helpful, but it's time to get back to telling this story. Elizabeth is so excited to travel to places like Houston, Detroit and Madison with her cast that have become family. If you want to catch them in a city near you, check out our website (colorpurple.com) for ticket information. We are on the road till the end of May! Next stop: San Antonio, TX!

FOR GOOD CABARET

12/9/2019

Let's just say Elizabeth doesn't know how to sit still. She had a blast reprising her role as Deloris Van Cartier this weekend in Sister Act at the Taylor Performing Arts Center. However, when presented with an opportunity to raise money for charity, she can't resist! This Wednesday, she'll be joining an incredible group of performers to raise money for a charity called Gladeo.

Gladeo's mission is to inspire and help young people discover, navigate and achieve their dream career. Through media and technology Gladeo fosters career exploration and planning for young people from diverse backgrounds.

sister act part 3!

11/22/2019

Elizabeth can't seem to leave the pulpit! The Color Purple is taking a break for the holidays, and 2 days before landing in Los Angeles, Elizabeth got a call to see if she'd be available to join the cast of Sister Act at the Taylor Performing Arts Center. There was a mishap, and she would only have 10 days to learn the blocking and choreography. Lucky for her, she had already worked at TPAC (last starring as the Narrator in Joseph...Dreamcoat) and already worked with Director Roger Castellano. There are only 4 opportunities to watch her be Fabulous Baby!

"John Doyle is listed for both direction and musical staging and he is to be congratulated on assembling a fine cast of performers. The backing chorus fills the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts with ease and their movement on stage is timed perfectly. This show delivers every bit that is expected and more."
