My love and passion for acting is continually fueled by societal issues and my education. I graduated from the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-Upon-Avon with a distinction, receiving a master's in Shakespeare and Creativity. ​I hold an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin La Crosse in Theatre Performance and a minor in Costume Design. Other training includes a semester abroad studying performance art at Plymouth University in England. I also continue to train at Black Box in Chicago. Their curriculum is based on human behavior, focusing on the Meisner Technique and Viewpoints. ​

I firmly believe entertainment should be diverse both in topic and style, shedding a light on relevant social issues past and present. By creating accessible productions everyone is able to experience material that fuels conversations that last even once the show is over.

About ME
I'm Elissa Wolf. I'm a director and an Equity actor, going wherever the job takes me.
"My goal, while working in the dramatic arts, has always been to establish connections. As an actor, my aim is to share an honest story that connects and ruminates with the audience."
