Full Bio
ELIZABETH is a Tony Award & Drama Desk Award nominated, classically trained actor in NYC. She is an Innovative Theatre Award and NYMF Award Winner. She received her BFA & MFA in Theatre Performance, crediting Michael Chekhov technique, Arthur Lessac work, and Grotowski training as the basis for her approach. She is also a classically trained violinist. (But prefers to fiddle.)

Originally from a town of 363 people in the Panhandle of Texas, Elizabeth remains a small town girl at heart while being fiercely committed to the soul & call of NYC. This synthesis of place & style drives the aesthetic from which she creates. Elizabeth's chameleon-esque versatility continues to be evidenced on stage & screen, from classic texts to new works to musicals. She's the girl next door, the abandoned victim, & the out-to-get-you villain.

Elizabeth has been seen on Broadway, Off Broadway, & Off Off Broadway. She can be seen in a range of TV shows from network to TV Land. She shares her own music across NYC in venues from 54 Below & 42West, to Rockwood and The Players Club. Her writing was last produced at The Cherry Lane Studio & The Goodspeed Opera House's Norma Terris Theatre.

As an actor, Elizabeth is also a Young Alumni Award Recipient for Case Western Reserve University, and a CFW Artist in Residence. She shares a Library of Congress song patent with the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.

She is a proud member of AEA, SAG-AFTRA, 802, League of Professional Theatre Woman & ASCAP. Other affiliations include Johnny Mercer Colony Alum, Rhinebeck Writer's Retreat, Cherry Lane Mentor Project Fellow, and a NYMF Women of Note concert contributor.

She is the wife of Jordan Richard, daughter of Frank and Melody Davis and sister to Jonathan Davis. She is the mama of Josiah, the 20 month old, and Orlando, the pitbull.
