Off-Broadway: "Iron Chef" in El Otro Oz (Atlantic Theater Company: NYT Critic’s Pick, Off Broadway Alliance Award Winner for “Best Family Show”), “Papa” in the world premiere of The Adventures of Honey and Leon: The Musical (New York City Children's Theater) based on Alan Cumming's children's book.

Eli currently works as the Theatre Operations Manager and Resident Music Director at the Play Group Theatre in White Plains, NY and continues to teach private voice and piano lessons in his voice studio.

Outside of performing, Eli enjoys exploring the city with his dog, Maggie (aka Magatha Bean). As his manager, Ms. Bean will *nervously* take any inquiries about her client, Eli (along with 75% of his profits). She accepts payment in the form of a nice head scratch or her favorite snack: carrots.
