Hailing from Chicago, Elijah is over the moon to be making his Pickleville debut this summer. Currently pursuing his BFA in Musical Theatre at Webster University's Sargent Conservatory of Theatre Arts in St. Louis, Elijah was most recently seen as the roving guitarist and Andrey/Old Prince Bolkonsky understudy in "Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812" and Caleb in "The Spitfire Grill." The amazement from watching broadway’s “Newsies” was a primary force in motivating Elijah to pursue a career in theatre arts, and he hopes the audience feels a similar amazement from watching Pickleville’s productions.
