As a singer-actor, she has appeared in regional productions ranging from "Annie Get Your Gun" to "I Pagliacci" to The Kenny Rogers Christmas Tour. Recent theatrical projects include musical directing "The Chris Betz Show" at Rose’s Turn and the Sage Theatre in NYC and "Tommy" for the Theatre Company at Debaun Auditorium, "Side Show" at Westchester Broadway Theatre, conducting "The Sound of Music" for the Wagon Wheel Theatre of Warsaw, Indiana, adapting "Starmites 2000" for Broadway composer Barry Keating, and accompanying master classes for Broadway veteran Ken Jennings and Cabaret artist Jason Summers (opening for Sutton Foster).

She is currently a DMA candidate in Vocal Pedagogy at Shenandoah Conservatory, where she aims to concentrate on the effects of diet and wellness measures in the training of professional voice users (just ask, and she will happily discuss her recent “veggie-powered” Century bike ride, Marathon, and 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training Certification!), as well as comparative musical theater training techniques. Elizabeth is also member of the adjunct faculty at SUNY Dutchess (DCC), where she instructs both classical/concert and crossover genres. She has formerly conducted the DCC choral ensembles (DCC Chorus, DCC Chamber Choir) and currently teaches Vocal Repertoire, Applied Voice (Solo and Vocal Chamber Ensembles), and History of American Musical Theater.
