Eli Vanderkolk
Singer | Actor | Dancer
Welcome!

Originally from Lafayette, Indiana, Eli is now at Ithaca College, completing his BFA in Musical Theatre. Upon graduating in 2025, he plans to move to NYC to pursue his love for Theatre, TV/Film, and Vocal Pedagogy.
Before pursuing his love for musical theatre, Eli studied biochemistry at Purdue University in hopes of becoming a doctor. His commitment to helping others with the talents he'd been given were strong. One day, a comment from an assistant director on his performance of "Bui Doi" from Miss Saigon changed everything. Eli realized he could combine his passions for performance, helping others, and education through a career in the arts. From this day forward, Eli passionately discovers new ways to help and heal others through his God-given gifts.
