Selected Credits
Over four decades of principal and guest-starring roles across Canada and the United States.
International Credits
Gaijin (foreigners) in Japanese television are mostly used for historical re-enactments. In productions for FUJI TV and Nihon TV, Elizabeth portrayed a range of famous figures: Ruth Ellis, Doris Stokes, Lady Emma Hamilton, the Virgin Mary, and — memorably — a witch burned at the stake. In Hong Kong, she has worked extensively with RTHK Educational Television, including a recurring role as the Sea Witch in their adaptation of The Little Mermaid.

Stage
Over ten years in Classic British and Modern American plays, from Christie to Molière to the Royal Shakespeare canon.
12 Years
For twelve years, Elizabeth worked with the professional repertory company Mysteriously Yours as both actor and co-writer. Characters would eat dinner with the audience and interact with them throughout the evening. In 2013, she returned to play the Dowager Countess in Uptown Abbey — a spoof of Downton Abbey.
Education & Direction
Besides performing, Elizabeth has written plays and directed theatre for children. As a qualified ESL teacher, she combined both passions — teaching English through drama to students across Canada, Hong Kong, and beyond.
