is happy to be making her first appearance here. Her last show was Nunsense (Community Theatre at Woodbury) where she played Sister Amnesia, so it would appear that she was "promoted" in this production to Mother Superior! Other favorite shows include Penelope Pennywise (Urinetown, 3 times! Ridgefield, Wilton, New Milford), Betty (The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Original and Christmas version: Norwalk, New Milford), Hattie-'Broadway Baby" (Follies. Torrington), and Georgette (It Shoulda Been You. Goshen). Elyse is very happily retired from both teaching and directing children's theater and loves to spend her free time at her house in Wildwood, NJ with family and friends.
