Saint Rita’s Music Room

Eli Walker and Broadway in Beacon are bringing back her one-woman show, Kill the Buddha, this time to St. Rita's Music Room here in Beacon for three nights only on Oct. 1st, 2nd and 3rd. &nbsp;In case you missed it in December…
Kill the Buddha is a darkly comic solo performance about the modern obsession with expertise, belonging and the seductive promise that somebody out there has The Way. It's part confessional memoir, part satire of wellness culture. It's framed around a disastrously honest podcast interview, and it ricochets between the yoga teacher who exploited my search for meaning, the media machine that turned my irreverence into a product and my own very real complicity in turning pain into performance. I play a rotating cast of characters - (one of them being me!).
More about Eli:
Eli Walker is a speaker, author, performance artist and a recognized voice on belonging and human connection. Her career bridges interactive storytelling, wellness and global impact. She is the founder of the viral brand&nbsp;<a href="https://001ba5f1.streak-link.com/DBbNEY8Hx1Q2_RIVlA5O_VcV/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theuplift.center%2Fdrunk-yoga" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Drunk Yoga®</a>, featured in GLAMOUR, WomensHealth, Forbes, INSIDER, New York Post, People, The LA Times and more. In 2024, Drunk Yoga® evolved into&nbsp;<a href="https://001ba5f1.streak-link.com/DBbNEX_qKlrIPfBYCQ2pIqmB/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theuplift.center%2F" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Uplift Center</a>, her belonging design studio, where she and her team curate social wellness experiences and trainings for organizations and community leaders worldwide. A performer since childhood, Eli wrote her first one-woman show—a feminist twist on&nbsp;Little Red Riding Hood—at age 8, and by 16 was performing Lily Tomlin’s&nbsp;The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe&nbsp;from memory. While earning her BFA in Acting from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, she performed off-Broadway at Lincoln Center, LaMaMa, and the Lucille Lortel Theatre, working with Tony Award-winning directors such as Liz Swados and Blake Bradford. Eli can also be seen in TV, film, and commercials for DiscoveryID, Hallmark, Microsoft, Honda and Xfinity and more. Eli's previous one-woman shows include&nbsp;STEPS,&nbsp;COUNTING, and&nbsp;The Quarter-Life Crisis Monologues,&nbsp;which premiered in NYC at Wing Theater, ETW and The PIT. Through all her work, Eli invites audiences to explore the space between self and other—the only place where belonging is sparked.
