Ellen Greene to Star in Short Film Beatrix Is Invisible
Ellen Greene, the theater icon who originated the role of Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors both on stage and on screen, has landed in a buzzy new project. She has the raw and revealing leading role in Beatrix Is Invisible, a short film by rising filmmaker Alex Farias. Greene plays Beatrix, who finds herself feeling disconnected and insignificant and reaches out to the world around her for meaning. “It’s not the old adage that when you’re old you’re invisible,” Greene tells Broadway.com. “It’s more that she used to have a life, an identity. This is her journey to figure out who she is now and how she fits into the world, and what is her significance.” Beatrix Is Invisible premieres at the Palm Springs International Film Society ShortFest 2025 in Palm Springs, CA on Tuesday, June 24.
