Elise Rustici (Castle Staff, Summer Chorus, Oaken’s Family, Young Elsa Understudy) is absolutely overjoyed for her Peacock Players debut in Frozen Jr.! Elise is a third grader at Nottingham West Elementary. She has always loved performing and being on stage since she was a toddler, and would often give impromptu performances in the kitchen. She has been dancing since the age of 2 at the Melissa Hoffman Dance Center, studying Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Lyric and her favorite discipline Broadway/Musical Theater. She received her informal introduction to theater participating in the ensemble/cast of her dance studio’s Broadway program productions  including  Annie, Tangled, The Greatest Showman, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. When Elise isn’t at school, or the dance studio she enjoys attending voice lessons, playing soccer, swimming, and spending time with her siblings and little cousins. She is so grateful for this opportunity, and has enjoyed this experience so much. She cannot wait to take the stage! She would like to thank the entire Peacock Players family, cast and crew for being so welcoming, kind, and fun, making her first Peacock Players production experience such a positive one!
