Eli connected with their inner (and outer) lesbian cartoonist, playing the role of Big Alison at New Light Theatre's production of Fun Home, March 8 - 17.

Eli co-devised, wrote, and performed in a brand new, off-the-wall, absolutely bananas reimagining of Shakespeare's bloodiest play. Citrus Andronicus was part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival

Reviews

"Lynn and Ahlin wonderfully render what’s possibly one of the cruelest scenes in all Shakespeare, a sobering conclusion to the spirited escapades that preceded it."

- Kiran Pandey, Broad Street Review

"The actors in the 2023 "Complete Works" are imaginative, fearless and incredible.
Eli Lynn is an actor of a thousand voices and guises, convincingly, seamlessly and quickly moving from one to the next."

- Lehigh Valley Press

"I haven’t read this play, but I imagine the most frequent stage direction is: “Mayhem ensues.” And it does, especially when Lynn’s fight choreography takes over the second act for a spectacular and hilarious battle."

- Philadelphia Inquirer

"Surely, I am not the only audience member who wants to marry the ensemble that created these two “What You Will” plays; I could watch them do every production I see for the rest of my life."
