It was no surprise to many of us who have known and loved Elizabeth "Lizzy" Aspenlieder for many years as a stalwart performer at Shakespeare & Company that Lizzie gained the recognition of New England's top theater critics earlier this week for her solo performance in Bad Dates.
This play merely marked another chapter in a career full of theatrical milestones. We are so thrilled for Lizzy, and just hope that she remembers all the little folks who supported her along the way on her journey to certain national and international stardom. -- Seth Rogovoy

Elizabeth Aspenlieder Wins 2009 Elliot Norton Award
Saluted for ‘outstanding solo performance’
Shakespeare & Company actress Elizabeth Aspenlieder won the Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Solo Performance for her performance in Theresa Rebeck’s Bad Dates at Shakespeare & Company and Merrimack Repertory Company this winter, at a ceremony held earlier this week Harvard University’s Sanders Theatre. The award was presented by actress Paula Plum. Academy Award-winner Al Pacino opened the evening by accepting an award saluting the late Paul Benedict’s “indelible presence” on the Boston theatre scene.
Adrianne Krstansky directed Bad Dates, which composed S & Co.’s first-ever winter season and stormed to great box office and critical success. Wall Street Journal theater critic Terry Teachout wrote of Bad Dates that Aspenlieder pulled off an “improbable act of theatrical alchemy” and her “zany acting is part of what makes Shakespeare & Company the best theater troupe in the Berkshires.” She was previously named the “Stage Comedienne of the Year” by the Wall Street Journal in 2007 for her role as Natasha Navratalova in Shakespeare & Company’s production of Tom Stoppard’s Rough Crossing.
“I wake up every day surprised and happy to be doing what I love doing, which is acting—but in close second is living here in the Berkshires and working with Shakespeare & Company – so I also feel incredibly lucky about where I’m doing what I love.” Aspenlieder says.
“To be recognized amongst such a distinguished and ‘out of the ball park’ talented group of artists and fellow nominees is not only a great honor, but deeply humbling," said Aspenlieder.
The Elliot Norton Awards are the highest honor bestowed for theatre work in Greater Boston. Previous S&Co. artists to receive this distinction include Tina Packer, who was awarded the Elliot Norton Medal in 2001, and Annette Miller, who won for “Outstanding Solo Performance” in 2003 for the world-premiere of Golda’s Balcony.
Aspenlieder, who is entering her fifteen season at S&Co., also serves as Interim Communications Director and Director of Publicity & Playbill Advertising.

I saw Lizzy perform Bad Dates twice this winter and I was amazed! I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants! Lizzy is one of the best actresses of our time and I'm so glad she was recognized with the award.
