Elinor Bell
Actor
The joy of bringing to life another being
The thrill of heart to heart connection, actor to audience
The energy of an ensemble working in sync
The anticipation of opening night
The agony, the fear, the butterflies
The work
The satisfaction
Ahhhhhh . . . Theater

What other people are saying:
“And Bell is absolutely terrific in the role that moves her range from coquet to codger…”
--Pat Craig, Contra Costa Times
“Bell turns in an astounding performance as her physicality coupled with the makeup transform her into a convincing 92. The scenes where she is grappling with her shifting memories ring true with a poignancy that is difficult to attain. You can almost see the light in her eyes go out, as she founders beneath a lifetime of memories.”
Geoff Gillette, Danville Weekly News
“Elinor Bell is admirable as Linda, the wife and mother of the Loman clan, a role that’s difficult, demanding great discretion. . . an ensemble working closely together in tight, almost musical timing . . .”
--Berkeley Daily Planet
“Bell’s acting is multifaceted.”
--Oakland Tribune
“Elinor Bell’s Linda is the real standout, flinty and loving by turns. Her journey from conciliatory doormat to implacable, nostrils-flaring force of nature is a powerful one.”
--East Bay Express
