Our Mission

Vine & Light Productions creates new musicals that awaken emotion, inspire hope, and illuminate social questions that shape our world. 

Drawing from classic stories, myths, and history, we work with composers and lyricists to craft musicals that connect our past to our present in meaningful, resonant ways. 

Our productions offer stories of courage and possibility, brought to life through the collective artistry of musical theatre.

About Elizabeth

I have been a theatre creator my entire life—beginning as a performer in NYC, and evolving into a teacher, director, and producer in the SF Bay Area.

I believe deeply in the power of collaboration and in creating work that awakens audiences toward curiosity, dialogue, and meaningful change.

In 2007 I became the Founding Artistic Director of Berkeley Playhouse, where I have led the commissioning, development, and production of 7 new musical theatre works, 2 of which have had full successful professional productions. Today, Berkeley Playhouse reaches more than 50,000 patrons annually and operates with an annual budget of approximately $2.8 million.
