Elise Bernardi, 12, is a student at Farms Intermediate School. She is excited to be joining the Encore cast once again to perform in “The Lion King.”
Acting and theater have become a big part of Elise’s life over the past year. She has been in “Matilda,” “Shrek,” and “Rudolph,” and claims that the productions keep getting more exciting.
Elise has been having so much fun with the role of Ed in this production. She is also glad to be sharing this spectacular experience with two of her siblings. Elise would like to thank the directors and her friends for being so supportive.
