With the right direction and the Lord as the wind in your sails, the horizon is full of treasures beyond your wildest dreams. Just keep dreaming big. ELEISHA'S LATEST NEWS:
Feb 14, 2010: Eleisha continues to audition for various opportunities during pilot season and enjoy beautiful and sunny California. No return date back to Amarillo has been set but it is anticipated that she will be wrapping up pilot season sometime toward the end of March. As we are finding out so far, one audition often leads to another so it's very likely Eleisha will return to California as various opportunities present themselves throughout the year. We will announce any contract engagements as we are able...thank you for your interest and support. Dec 12, 2009: We would like to announce that Eleisha has signed with an agency in Los Angeles. Eleisha plans to be in Hollywood for a few months during pilot season to see what opportunities are available. There are no permanent relocation plans from Amarillo at this time. As for local events, Eleisha sang the National Anthem at the Gorilla's (hockey) game tonight (see video in Biography). Next week, she will be singing at Whittier Elementary School before leaving for L.A. Nov 30, 2009: As you may have guessed, Eleisha's experience with America's Got Talent changed her life (for the good) and she has been enjoying new opportunities cross her path in Amarillo. The amazing thing to us is how many people just love to hear Eleisha sing. The United Way Youth Leadership rally was just a wonder time singing for a great cause, meeting so many excited fans and of course, seeing Mayor Debra McCartt (some of you may remember the Mayor and Eleisha were in a show together...Seussical). Add to this singing engagements for local parties and dinners, Eleisha has definitely stayed quite busy. Eleisha is in the process of finding an agency in L.A. and we hope to have this worked out soon. Aug 15, 2009: Eleisha made it from Las Vegas to the quarter finals in America's Got Talent and performed live in Hollywood in front of millions of viewers for the first time this week. This truly was the peak of all experiences and Eleisha enjoyed every minute of it. She truly feels life in front of the camera is more her "cup of tea" than ever before. The passion of performance and music beats within her and she's ready to take her next shot at it again (Ok...maybe a little rest first). Of course, it wouldn't have been possible without the countless hours of dedication and encouraging guidance of Eleisha's talent coach, Shellie Stapp. History was made for a 9 year old girl and we can't think of anyone better qualified than Shellie to pull together and focus the talents of piano, acting, singing and dancing in Eleisha at the same time. Special thanks also to Amarillo Little Theatre for the quick use of their facilities on short notice. And of course, we are truly grateful for all the support and prayers of our family and friends who know that God is doing an amazing thing in Amarillo's little star. This is just the beginning... July 8, 2009: Big surprise everyone...Eleisha auditioned for America's
Got Talent! It's not like she didn't warn us - she's been talking about
it for
over 9 months (since "Ruthless"?). When auditions came around, we intended
to let them pass us by because of other family demands but Eleisha and
Shellie kept the dream alive. We are so proud of her sticking with it
through all the nerve-racking bumps and late night practices. Huge kudo's to Shellie Stapp for her excellent talent coaching abilities in Amarillo to prepare Eleisha for this moment.
Also a special thanks to Darren Morehouse (Wildnotes Productions) who originally recorded Eleisha's track that got her foot in the front door in Houston (AGT did their own for the show). As always, we can't thank everyone enough in the Amarillo theatre circles for opening their hearts and investing in a little girl with big dreams. This moment is a tribute to the immense talent within Amarillo and the countless others who will rise to see their dreams come true. April 4, 2009: Music Man was amazing! The best show we have seen in the short few years we have been at ALT. The cast worked very hard and the result was an extraordinary performance of singing and dancing that truly reflects the depth of talent and years of work within ALT Academy. Eleisha had a blast and will remember this show as one of her best for years to come. Please see the latest on "Music Man" Pics.
