Eli Okun

One of Eli’s first stage roles was the Prince’s Steward in a middle school production of Into the Woods Jr. He could not hit the high note.

Eli began improvising by the ocean as a student and later as a member of the Stranger Than Fiction troupe in Portsmouth, NH. Since moving to DC and completing the WIT curriculum, he has played on the Harold teams Affordable Luxury, Vendetta, Semiprecious, and Ghost Club. He also performs around town on the indie team 1-800-FIREDEPARTMENT. He joined company ensemble Nox! in the fall of 2024.

Eli grew up in Rockville, MD — a terrific town that’s almost completely undone by its official motto, “Get Into It!” As a child, he was a paying subscriber to Dog Fancy magazine. Now he spends time offstage working in the lamestream media, complaining about the DC United subscription package, applying to compete on Survivor, and staring longingly at the night sky.
