Liz Tiede
- Actress
Liz was born in the air capital city, Wichita, Kansas. She was raised by her loving parents Alan and Ann Burch alongside her brother Bobby. She received a wonderful Catholic school education beginning in Kindergarten and culminating at Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School. But it was as early as preschool that Liz's love of acting and singing blossomed. She first took the stage as "Piglet" in a preschool play, and she sure made a ham out of herself on stage (pun absolutely intended).
Liz's love of music flourished during elementary and middle school as she learned to sing and play the flute. She then went on to study the art of acting while in high school. She was cast in several plays and musicals, and found her niche with the theatre kids.
Offered several scholarships, Liz chose to attend Friends University, a Christian college in Wichita. She sang in Singing Quakers and Concert Choir while at Friends, studying under Dr. Charles Parker, Dr. Cecil Riney, and Dr. Mark Bartel. Liz majored in Musical Theatre and participated in all aspects of the art. She was cast in several plays and musicals, but also directed a one-act play which she greatly enjoyed. She also worked lights, props, and stage crew, and enjoyed every moment.
After college, Liz worked in various jobs, including the Wichita Center for the Arts, where she assisted in obtaining licenses for plays performed at the theatre, among many other duties. Liz was also cast in "Dracula" at Wichita Community Theater. Ask her about that one if you get a chance.
Liz went on to perform in the Company Chorus of the Wichita Grand Opera for several years. She enjoyed being on stage with opera stars from all over the world and learning from them.
Liz married her wonderful husband Jarrod in 2009. They (along with their dog Wally) made the move to Tehachapi, California at the end of 2015. Jarrod worked as a wind turbine technician and Liz was ready for a change. Los Angeles is only a short drive from Tehachapi, and she's ready to move forward in her career as an actor and singer.
