Welcome! I'm Eliza Knode (she/her)

As the daughter of a diplomat, I had quite a unique childhood. My stomping grounds were Malaysia, Japan, Hungary, Long Island, and Brazil. Wherever I moved, I always joined the local choir or drama club because it had those like me who were compassionate, driven, and creative. The Performing Arts created community which gave me a sense of home. I fell in love with collaborating and making art with others.
This love led me to earn a BFA in Musical Theater from the University of Miami. Upon graduating, I worked a two year theatre residency with Charleston Stage where I taught children's theatre classes by day and performed by night! Some of my favorite credits include Carole King (Beautiful the Carole King Musical), Morticia (The Addams Family) and Yvette & Fight Captain (Clue). Additionally, I have worked with regional theatres (Barn Theater), acapella groups (Tinseltones), boats (Virgin Voyages), and trains (The Polar Express).
I am New York City based singer/actor/teacher.
When I'm not on the stage, you'd probably find me nose deep in a book, flowing through a yoga routine, or re-watching Fleabag or The Good Place!

About the Show: The Summer Stalkers are BACK! This Wickedly talented group is ready to stalk their dream roles, and make this one seriously swankified summer. After their first 2 sold-out seasons in NYC, they’ve finally made it to Broadway(‘s premiere Supper Club). And in honor of this historic summer between parts 1 and 2 of the biggest musical blockbusters this side of the rainbow, they’re dedicating this summer season to all things ~Wickedly~ Wonderful…except for Wicked itself (unless we can somehow, someway, be the FIRST ametuer regional theatre troupe to acquire the rights from Jon M. Chu himself!!!) So buckle up folks, for there is a -definish- chance you’ll be changed: for good.
