BIOGRAPHY

Liz Power was born in Southern New Jersey on a stormy Feb. 6th. Although her given name is Elizabeth Anne, her father began calling her "Liz" at a very young age, much to her mother's dismay (she wanted "Elizabeth" to stick). And yes, Power is her REAL last name!

As small children, Liz and her brother, Ryan, would sing songs while visiting with their grandparents. Their grandmother would use an old tape recorder to record their mini performances, and amazingly, these recordings still exist today. Liz and Ryan would also sing with their parents, learning 4-part harmonies and singing songs by artists like The Mamas and Papas, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles. Growing up surrounded by music surely had a great impact on Liz, as well as her brother, who is an opera graduate of the prestigious Eastman School of Music.

Liz graduated from Syracuse University with a B.F.A. in Musical Theatre. She has toured nationally and internationally, as well as performed on NYC stages such as the Theatre at Madison Square Garden. Liz was nominated by the New Hampshire Theatre Awards for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as Eva Peron in Evita at the Weathervane Playhouse. In addition to her extensive theatre career, she has also done commercials, print work, and has appeared on multiple soap operas. Liz has been a guest artist for Royal Caribbean, has performed on cast recordings, and has been a guest singer at the Fred Ebb Awards and the Kleban Awards.

Teaching is also a passion for Liz. She has taught and directed children's theatre at the Mainstage Center for the Arts for kids ages 9-18 and has presented workshops for Florida Studio Theatre and the Haddonfield Theater Arts Center. Liz has also completed the teacher training for the internationally recognized early childhood music program, Music Together.

After living in NYC for over 12 years, Liz is happy to be making a new home in the Sarasota area of Florida with her husband. She has performed numerous shows at Florida Studio Theatre and is excited to announce her newest project--the Liz Power Voice Studio! Liz is accepting new students who are interested in taking voice lessons in Lakewood Ranch, FL. The Grand Opening will be announced on the Liz Power Voice Studio Facebook page.
