Actor. Puppeteer. Improviser. Voice Over.
A queer, first-generation Haitian-American born and raised in Coney Island, Emmanuel Elpenord graduated magna cum laude from Brooklyn College. His puppetry career spans nearly a decade to include credits off-Broadway, nationally, internationally, and New York City-wide.
“One of the highlights was Emmanuel Elpenord’s performance as Eeyore, Rabbit and Owl.”
“I was particularly struck by the vocal and physical challenge for Emmanuel Elpenord, who performs triple-duty as Eeyore, Rabbit, and Owl... [He makes] each character extremely distinctive and authentic to the originals.”
“…there are happy surprises, like Emmanuel Elpenord’s suave Antonio…”
“...Elpenord tied the proceedings together with an air of soothing authority and technical wizardry...”
“...by far the most interesting element that [needed exploring.] Emmanuel Elpenord offered all he could to leave you wanting more.”
