Liz Neitge (she/they) is a Brooklyn-based AEA actor, singer, and and theatrical collaborator. Originally from Minnesota, Liz was adopted at birth with their fraternal twin. Her heritage is Peruvian and she is a descendent of the Quechuan people. She proudly identifies as queer, genderqueer, BIPOC, indigenous, and LatinΓ©/Hispanic. Before moving to NYC, Liz received her Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre Performance from Arizona State University.
Outside of biking around Brooklyn, Liz has been called to more than just the stage. They currently serve as the Social Media Manager for Ring of Keys, a theatrical nonprofit that promotes the professional hiring of queer women and TGNC theatre artists. Being a queer person of color, Liz has always felt compelled to serve these communities and explore how these identities intersect and are cultivated in a nonlinear way. They hope to be a catalyst for social change that benefits people from a local to global scale.
Some recent credits include playing Maria Elena and lead keyboard in BUDDY: The Buddy Holly Story national tour, El Otro Oz (Forestburgh Playhouse), West Side Story (Seacoast Repertory), and Radium Girls: A Jaw Dropping New Musical (LatinΓ© Musical Theatre Lab).
