Crew
Eliza Fox: Executive Producer/Co-Writer
Eliza grew up with an actor/director father and costume designer mother. As a young
girl she watched and learned what good and bad acting are and how to pin point what
works and doesn't in drama. Her interest in theater continued through high school
and college. After begging for several years, her mother gave her a $50 guitar at
which time she began studying and performing folk music. After graduating from high
school, she moved from her home in Philadelphia to Iowa City and attended the
University of Iowa. While there, she performed on the radio and in local bars and was
playing with a hard core country band when at the age of 22 her life changed
completely with the birth of her son Wiley Wilkins. Becoming a mother deepened her
understanding of the human condition and caused her to focus more on her studies and
future job prospects. She moved to Seattle with her son and husband Matt Wilkins and
after three tough years, graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in secondary education
from Seattle Pacific University. She taught high school math for five years in the
Seattle Public School District and was elected by her peers to the Ingraham High
School Leadership Team. Then in 2000 she was one of the ten chosen from a pool of six
hundred applicants to participate in Safeco Insurance Company's COBOL school. She
worked as a mainframe COBOL programmer for a year and is now an Ad-Hoc reporting
analyst. Eliza produced and co-wrote Interior Latex. In addition she worked and
performed in:
- I Wish I could Find Five Dollars on the Ground
- Ain't Got No Chicken Bones in My Brain
- She co-produced Oh Shit- That's My Mind.
- She was a creative consultant on The Agnostic Party.
Eliza's input creatively and practically makes her an invaluable member of our team.
Her financial backing and personal investment, energy, and effort have been
foundational to all of our efforts.
