It all started with a best friend who had a dress up box, and a mom who said “yes, we’ll make it happen”.

Eleanor now lives in NYC with a lovely view of the

Met Cloisters. You can find her running through

Central Park, living room dancing with Erik, at her desk writing a new project, taking advantage of her AMC a-list membership and catching the latest flicks, or frequently returning home to the Rockies for some much needed fresh air and campfires.

She is currently reading A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross.

From the early age of four, Eleanor has taken to the stage. Originally from Montana, she grew up in a small town that had an after school theatre program (thank goodness!). She graduated from performing on her living room hearth to the big stage at Grandstreet Theatre (much to her mother's relief). There she fell in love with theatre-making and began a life-long pursuit of play.

I wish I still had this outfit...

Fast forward several backyard productions, after school rehearsals, & piano recitals, and she found herself in St. Louis, MO studying acting at Webster Conservatory. There her whole world opened up when she discovered Shakespeare and the classics and met her partner, Erik Peterson with whom she gets up to no good with and shares a deep-seated desire to make art exist from nothing. Those backyard productions reinvented themselves in clown class, professional productions, late night devising and ultimately in grad school at LAMDA studying classical acting.

Across the pond she honed her acting technique, combat skills, drive, and aptitude to pursue this crazy career with abandon. She trained with the best, was mentored by Dame Harriet Walter, performed at The Globe, and played roles like Troilus (T&C), Romeo (R&J) and Lady Anne (RIII) - oh my!
