Ellen is the co-founder and music director of Rising Stars Productions, a music and theater education company based in Reading, MA.  The company began in 2012 when Ellen and co-founder Kim Lamoureux felt that there was a need in their community for truly student-centered theater education.  That summer, they launched the company's flagship program, Rising Stars Camp, a one-week musical theater intensive for students ages 10-18.  Since then, the company has expanded to provide acting improvisation workshops, audition master classes, and additional camps throughout the year.  To learn more about Rising Stars Productions' mission and program, visit rising-stars-productions.com.
