The New Victory Theater
As a Teaching Artist with the New Victory, Liz is actively involved with the New Victory philosophy:
"The work of the Education Department is inspired by the live performances on the New Victory stage. The nationally-recognized New Victory Education programs connect the artists to the audience and all of us to the performing arts. Our programs strive to be accessible; inviting students, teachers, kids, families and communities of New York City and beyond to play, learn and engage in the arts."
