Eli and the Death Curse
A timeless fairytale for a modern audience, Eli and the Death Curse weaves music, dance, and storytelling together for a heartfelt, and hilarious, one-act adventure.
Eli had not yet learned much, but he knew enough to realize that the spectre of death had been a dark shadow on him all his life, ready to pounce on any living creature in his presence. Best not to risk it.
But, as it turns out… some things are worth the risk.
Shortly after Eli is born, his parents die untimely and mysterious deaths. A pattern soon emerges; everyone Eli becomes close with (and near to) dies.
Not to fear! Eli meets his true love Lilah, and their dear friend Anne, and together they defeat Eli’s “Death Curse” once and for all.
Eli and the Death Curse celebrates life, friendship, and love. Written by Philip Goodridge, and beautifully told through shadow dance directed by Lynn Panting, with original live music by Kyle McDavid, this show is for everyone.
