Elris Edwards

Elris Edwards (he/they) is a graduate from the University of Montevallo with a BFA in Design and Technology with a concentration in Costumes. A cocktail of ballet and cosplay in their childhood truly inspired them to pursue theater and specifically the wild world of costuming.

Born in Tennessee and raised in Alabama, they have previously worked on shows with Alabama Shakespeare Festival as a dresser, which was also their go-to position in the college's theater department. Elris enjoys taking any opportunities they can as they see every chance to help as a moment to learn more about something, which has allowed him to also start to pick up a variety of other technical theater training in lighting, sound, stage management, directing, and more. Elris hopes that their art and support in Sitka can provide a safe and inclusive experience where people are able to express themselves freely and have the ability to experiment without judgement.
