Elijah Venable*
as Benedick
Elijah Venable is ecstatic to be a part of the cast of his sixth show here! He's especially excited for this performance since it is his first full length comedy piece at James River, a show he's been looking forward to ever since freshman year. Elijah's enjoyed the rehearsing process a lot, as well as taking on the challenge of his first ever Shakespeare. Past performances include Hadestown (Hades), "A Monster Calls" (The Monster), and "The Dowry of Columbine" (The Fiddler). Elijah would like to thank his supportive friends and Mr Whitcomb, who, after reminding him the day of, allowed him to submit this bio despite it being a day late. Enjoy the show!!!
