This is Ellie's first year at UK, but she has been performing and training with the university since she was 8. She attended Governor's School for the Arts in Musical Theatre and graduated from SCAPA Lafayette here in Lexington. She is so excited and thankful to be in Bright Star! Some favorite past roles include Nancy in Oliver, Fiona in Shrek, and Veronica in Heathers. Ellie would like to thank Mary Joy Nelson, her Mom and family, and all the faculty in the department who have been so encouraging this year.
