PERFORMANCE – IMPROV – STORYTELLING – COMEDY WRITING
- Improv: Erica graduated from Level 1 and 2 Improv at The PIT (The People’s Improv Theater).
- Mortified: Erica explored the world of storytelling in the hilarious show “Mortified”. She read and revealed her cringeworthy and yes mortifying sleep-away camp letters in front of a huge audience at Littlefield in Brooklyn, NY.
- Storytelling: Erica took Storytelling Level 1 with multi Moth winner Adam Wade and performed her story in the graduation show at the Magnet Theater, NYC.
- Writing: Writing has always been a passion of Erica’s since the age of 7. She was a creative writing major at Ithaca College. She loves writing true stories and has kept every one of her journals (including her favorite Judy Blume diary). In 2021 she took Autobiographical Comedy Writing at The Squirrel Theater, in NYC taught by Arti Gollapudi. The class combined Erica’s two loves..comedy and writing true stories.
