Wordsmith | Theatre Artist | Musician
The recipe for a Kate Mock Elliott is to take one part Peter Pan complex, two parts Type-A control freak, mix together and simmer inside twelve years of Catholic school, let rise in a liberal arts music program, combine with an atheist guitarist, add two strong-willed daughters, fill with a burning desire to change the world for the better, and flavor generously with a wide assortment of hobbies, passions, interests, and skills. Heat over a candle burning at both ends, and watch what happens.
My candle burns at both ends … it gives a lovely light!

Crooning. Belting. Scatting.
Kate has a strong foundation in musicianship including a degree in Vocal Performance. She croons like Patsy, belts like Ethel, and enjoys the occasional jazz scat break or modern art song. She has more than ten years of classical piano training, a portfolio of original songs, and dabbles in guitar, ukelele, and fiddle.
“Elliott is an experienced actress, so she has stage presence and confidence that translate into a performance that connects.”
