About
Erin is a Deaf actor who made her Broadway debut in Grey House as an understudy for Bernie, A1656, and Marlow. This Spring, Erin starred as Violet in Deaf Broadway’s production of Violet at Lincoln Center. She is a recurring cast member (Ms. Erin) on the popular, Emmy-nominated children’s program, Ms Rachel’s Songs For Littles (on Netflix and YouTube). Recently, she was on the interpreting team for the ASL performances of the Beauty and the Beast Broadway National Tour as it made its Boston tour stop, interpreting for Belle. Additionally, Erin just made history as the first Deaf actor in Dear Evan Hansen (link here), playing Zoe Murphy.
She can speak using her voice, sign using American Sign Language (ASL), and can speak and sign at the same time (called "simcom"); she has experience performing using all three of these.
Erin is passionate about improving accessibility, spreading awareness, and increasing Deaf and disabled representation. She is eager to perform both roles that are written specifically for Deaf actors as well as characters typically considered to be hearing but reimagined as Deaf, whether this is on stage in plays and musicals, or on screen. Erin hopes to be the representation for younger generations that she didn't have growing up.
Her advocacy work has also led to features in Teen Vogue, Forbes, CBS Inside Edition, Buzzfeed, and more.
