Erica began her Looking Glass journey as a costume designer. She designed numerous shows here, including Aphrodite’s Dungeon, A Carole Christmas, and the legendary Cardboard Moon. Outside of the Glass, she designed such projects as The Taming of the Shrew for Riverside Shakespeare Co., the film A Statue in Time, As You Like It in Riverside Park for Shakespeare Stage Company, and Sly Fox at the Samuel Beckett Theatre.
Erica graduated Vassar College back when they wore hoop skirts (well, she wore them), and has studied at The Art Students League, the Polokov Studio and NYU. She is a native New Yorker, a belly dance enthusiast and an FM radio addict. She has been literary manager at the Looking Glass since 2002, and someday she hopes to figure out exactly what a literary manager does…
