Elaine, in 2016, took steps to merge her existing production company, SQUEAKY WHEEL THEATRE PROJECT, and private music teaching studio, MUSIC FROM THE HEART STUDIO to form what is now DRAGONFLY STUDIO & PRODUCTIONS located in the up-in-coming Downtown Ocoee Florida area.
DRAGONFLY STUDIO & PRODUCTIONS is a facility not only committed to providing quality education in the arts to the Orlando community, but is also committed to supporting new artists, writers, creators, producers, and performers through the studio's flexible 50 seat venue: DRAGONFLY STUDIO 129. STUDIO 129 is an affordable, supportive, loving place that forms passions and gives dreams a chance to start. Elaine is grateful for all the creativity that has already been birthed within the walls of DRAGONFLY STUDIOS & PRODUCTIONS, and is excited to see what the future holds!
