About Elijah

Elijah Zimmerman has been doing theatre since he was seven, and it's been his thing ever since. A senior at Glenbard West High School near Chicago, he stays busy on stage — recently leading as Orpheus in Hadestown, Chad in All Shook Up, and Marius in Les Misérables at companies across the area.

He's a writer, too: A Campfire Song is an original musical he wrote, composed, and got to see fully staged. That mix of performing and creating is what he loves most — digging into a character, working with a cast, and telling meaningful stories. He's also trained at the Interlochen Summer Intensive and through years of voice, dance, and improv.

Offstage, you can find him hanging out with his dog Tilly, playing video games, and probably a million other things.
