In 2023, Ellie made her professional debut with Maples Repertory Theater. She appeared as Joanna Wilkes and Strange Woman in Big River, directed by Marc Liby, and in the ensemble for Mamma Mia! directed by Dylan Cole. Ellie also had the wonderful opportunity to be the Dance Captain for Mamma Mia! and was so excited to bring her love of dance to the professional stage.
This past summer, Ellie had the pleasure of playing Annie in Chicago at The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina. She also understudied Roxie Hart, going on for the role for a weekend of performances. Chicago has been a dream show for as long as she can remember and was so excited to see her wishes become reality!

Ellie had the opportunity to be a part of BroadwayWorld’s Next On Stage: Dance Edition competition. She made it to the final round, competing to raise money for Pittsburgh’s Foster Love Project. Foster Love Project’s mission is to show love in action to children impacted by foster and kinship care through provision of goods, services, and support. The organization seeks to provide dignity and care in the process for kids who experience foster care and to also provide support for kinship and foster families who are caring for the children making this transition.
