Meet Elizabeth
Elizabeth LaPrade’s first big role?
A self-written soap opera in 8th grade. She played the lead, of course.
The script? Dramatic.
The production value? Questionable.
But the spark? Absolutely real.
It wasn’t until a move to Florida in the ‘90s that she truly fell head over heels for acting. In between gigs and auditions, Elizabeth chauffeured an ever-changing cast of characters in a stretch limousine—somehow becoming the only driver in her company’s history with a spotless record. (She credits good instincts and an excellent sense of direction.)
Since then, she’s trained and worked across numerous films, industrials, theater productions, and commercials (from office supplies to Nordic Track), with a growing portfolio of voiceover work ranging from grounded narration to playful commercial reads. Whether on screen or behind the mic, she brings emotional depth, versatility, and truth to every performance.
Elizabeth is especially proud of a one-woman show she has written and performs, “Her Final Hour”—an emotionally rich piece about transformation, set in the final hours of a woman’s life. Told through raw, moment-to-moment recollection, the story explores personal reckoning, buried trauma, and the unexpected clarity that can emerge when time is running out. She’s currently developing the piece for the stage, making its regional premiere at the Northampton Center for the Arts in the Massachusetts Pioneer Valley.
Offstage, she finds joy in painting, writing poetry, learning Italian, and getting lost in the woods—sometimes on purpose—often talking to animals along the way. When she’s not on camera or on stage, they are her favorite audience.
