Introducing cast member Eliot Madrid!

Eliot Madrid, originally from California and now residing in New York City, is a multifaceted artist with a passion for creative exploration. His first art form was music, with the trumpet as his primary instrument, an experience that sparked a curiosity and drive to learn more. This hunger for growth has led him to perform in short films, musicals, plays, poetry readings, pit orchestras, chamber groups, and rock bands, in addition to some work as a session musician and music consultant. His music draws heavily from personal reflection, turning intimate journal entries into expressive songs and poetry. When not making music, Eliot works as a manager at the renowned prop house, Acme Props. He also enjoys furthering his artistic skills through classes in metalwork, flameworking, and sewing.

We're very excited to bring Eliot's musical musings to The Berkshires NewT.
