Elena Marking

I am a young emerging professional actress in the Milwaukee area currently training in First Stage’s Young Company. I am a passionate storyteller whose work is informed through classical and viewpoints training.

As an artist, I have a deep understanding of Shakespeare and other classical works and through my art I hope to leave the world better than I found it.

As a student, I strive to portray the most truthful version of the character onstage and I am always collaborating and learning from the artists who surround me.

“Elena Marking shows great strength in the role of the Goalie #00…Marking does a jaw-droppingly impressive job of controlling dramatic combustion during that moment”

-Russ Bickerstaff/The Small Stage

“The Young Company cast, as a whole, is breathtaking in their ability to bring their individual characters to life.  I’ve often said that YC is the best kept theatre secret in Milwaukee, but RTW [Renaissance Theaterworks] has let the cat out of the bag”

-Mary Boyle/Ozaukee Living Local
