Once upon a time a very young girl was sitting in the free seats at The MUNY watching a production of Tom Sawyer.  The girl noticed all the kids on stage painting the fence and looking like they were having a great time.  The girl leaned over and asked her mother how all those kids got on stage.  The girl's mother said, "Well, I guess they tried out. Do you want to be on stage?" The girl nodded an emphatic "Yes!". Just a few years later, the girl made her MUNY debut in The Wizard of Oz; and the rest, as they say, is history.

      Michele Burdette Elmore's career spans more than, well, A LOT of years.  She went on to appear in several shows at the MUNY including Show Boat (Ellie), Titanic (Charlotte Cardoza), Oklahoma (Gertie), and several shows in the ensemble.  Recent credits;  Sister Act (Sr. Mary Martin of Tours) at the nationally renowned Barter Theatre, and in New York, a concert reading of“Unbeatable, the Musical” starring Tony nominee Jen Colella. Numerous other productions include Annie, Oliver,  It Shoulda Been You, Urinetown, and Crazy for You. 

        Ms. Elmore is a wife, mother of two, mother-in-law, and dog-mom.  Her favorite activities are hiking, gardening, and word games.  See you at the theatre!
