LIVESTREAM RECORDING STILL AVAILABLE TO VIEW
An interactive opportunity to learn improv from a professional comedian!
One of the most innovative comedians around, Elizardi Castro uses language and culture to create humor that appeals to audiences of all ages. He has written and performed ten one-man shows including "Made in Puerto Rico" which ran Off-Broadway for seven sold out weeks!
Eli is a Klein crowd favorite, performing here 8 times come this January. Get tickets here for Made in Puerto Rico.
His critically acclaimed shows have been reviewed and recommended by numerous publications including the Chicago Sun-Times and the Orlando Sentinel. His shows have also been featured on ABC's The View; Telemundo's Emmy-winning morning show, Un Nuevo Dia; Fox's Good Day New York, WGN-TV, and the Univision network, among others. He also won "Best Stand Up" at the acclaimed United Solo Festival in NYC.
Before following his dream to become a standup comedian, Elizardi worked as a prosecutor before running his own law firm where he worked as a criminal defense attorney. He is a licensed attorney in Florida, Illinois and New York. He also possesses a Master’s Degree in Communications, along with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology. However, making people laugh has been the most rewarding career he’s ever had.
Elizardi's performances have been seen in colleges, universities and theatres throughout the country, including Yale University, University of Central Florida and Northwestern University Law School, as well as The New Jersey Performing Arts Center and The Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. He has also performed for various organizations and corporations, including the GOYA Corp., G.E. and the U.S. Census.
This master class is FREE & open to the public.
Each session will feature: (1) an interview with the guest artist to learn about his/her career path and influences, (2) a demonstration of the skills and craft of the artist’s field of endeavor, and (3) an interactive component where audience members are brought on stage to gain instruction in that craft. Maureen Hamill, Director of Education for Klein Theatre Arts, is the moderator.
The Klein Theatre Arts workshop series is made possible through a grant issued by the City of Bridgeport and the federal American Rescue Plan Act.
