One of Door County’s performance theaters will have a new leader this summer. Elissa Wolf has joined Door Shakespeare in Baileys Harbor as its new managing director this week. She will join Amy Ensign who is the artistic director as part of the leadership team at Door Shakspeare. Wolf has worked in artistic, administrative, and supervisory roles with the Chesapeake Shakespeare Company and the Chicago Youth Shakespeare.
Wolf, who has called Door County home for several summers as a child in Ellison Bay, has supported Door Shakespeare in the recent past as a volunteer. She said, “I love this theater’s work, vision and values, and look forward to contributing to its future growth and success."
Having earned a degree in theater performance at U.W.-La Crosse, Wolfe has her Masters of Arts in Shakespeare and Creativity from the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford-Upon-Avon, England, a program that is partnered with the Royal Shakespeare Company.
