Elisa Tornow

Mother
Elisa Tornow - Mother Elisa Tornow brings a wealth of experience and heartfelt nuance to her portrayal of Ethel Banks, the loving and practical mother at the center of Neil Simon’s beloved comedy Barefoot in the Park. With an acting career spanning both stage and screen, Elisa expertly embodies Ethel’s wit, resilience, and the quiet strength that defines her journey of rediscovery. Elisa’s stage credits include the sharp and commanding Dr. Livingston in Agnes of God, the hilariously endearing Sr. Mary Amnesia in Nunsense, and the charmingly nosy Julia in Lend Me a Tenor. She has also graced the stage as Yente in Fiddler on the Roof, Bobbi in Last of the Red Hot Lovers, and Mae Peterson in Bye Bye Birdie. Her versatility as a performer shines through in every role she takes on. Her background as a playwright and screenwriter further enriches her ability to connect with audiences and breathe life into complex characters. As Ethel Banks, Elisa balances humor, heart, and humanity, crafting a character that audiences will recognize, empathize with, and adore. Be sure to catch her in this laugh-out-loud yet deeply touching production of Barefoot in the Park!
