"Elayne has taught me so much about this business. More importantly, I find her insights about life in general to be enlightening and she has inspired me to branch out in ways I'd never dreamed of. She is truly a gift to the artistic community...and she's "FUN'! " says Linda.

Elayne is also an adjudicator for the ‘Arizoni’ awards which are vied for by outstanding stage actors in musical and drama productions in Phoenix.

Despite the busy schedule with her coaching work at her studio in Phoenix, Arizona, a love for kids and a deep sense of social responsibility made her, until recently, a long term volunteer for BookPALS (Performing Artists for Literacy in Schools). Her weekly reading schedule involved approximately one hundred and fifty children in economically disadvantaged schools.

Elayne has been involved with the Arizona BookPALS program since its inception in ’98 and recently received an appreciation plaque in honor of her retirement from BookPALS. However, she will still continue to read and entertain the kids that she loves so much, once a month in her many dialects and voices.
