ELI KEEL is, in his own words, "a bi-polar, queer, non-binary playwright, interested in interdisciplinary theatre, burlesque, meta-theatricality, competitive air guitar, and creative placemaking. NOTE: Theatre is empathy, and people are made of stories." Eli is also a culture and arts writer, a dancer, and has been known to have strong opinions. This show covers nerd-dom, faith, social justice jedis, the role of art, and contains fast talking and strong language. Be advised! (NSFW)
