News about Erin

"I know it was wonderful, but I don't know how I did it." - Laurence Olivier

 

Updated 3.10.2010

What they say is true- March is coming in like a lion! I just completed studio recording a demo of a new musical called, "Nab-A-Date." This is a musical version of The Dating Game, where I play Bachelorette #3 (and cause some trouble when it is revealed that my character has a secret!) We'll also be doing some industry readings in late March in order to generate interest in the future life of the project. Check out the demos on the show's website here.

I just booked a reading of a new play called "98.6º" - written by Bill Presky and Tom Leopold. The script is really funny, and I get to play the lead gal. The reading is mainly for industry folks, so I am not sure if it will be open to general audiences. But you know I will post the information as it becomes available. =)

My next episode of "One Life to Live" airs March 19, this time as a social worker involved in a juicy story line. It was wonderful being back in LLanview. (Click here to see a montage of scenes from my last appearance.)

September 6, 2009- Snakebit (salon reading)

Erin Cronican as Jennifer

Erin has just been invited to be a part of this salon read for The Play's the Thing. Here is a synopsis of the play:

A study of modern friendship when put to the test, the play centers on Jonathan and his wife, Jennifer, while they visit their oldest friend, Michael, at his home in Los Angeles. Jonathan, an actor, is in L.A. auditioning for a film - his first big break at stardom - and he's dragged Jennifer with him for support. Jennifer is distant because their daughter was left at home with a relative, and she's become ill. Michael is distracted as his boyfriend has left him, and one of the children he counsels was beaten and put in a hospital where he cannot see her. At first the focus is on the universal questions we all face at one point or another, specifically self-doubt, and our selfish need for support. With the arrival of a guest, the play becomes deeper and forces us to see how ugly we can be when we look only at ourselves when we really should remember to look at others - especially those we love.

Erin Cronican as Elise Brannigan

Here is a brief synopsis:

"Elise Brannigan's occupation could be seen as the lowest of lows. The manager of AtWill Temp Agency, Elise is a barracuda of a woman, working her way up the ranks by slashing temp workers wages and leaving a wake of charred execs and fellow comrades. All in all, everything seems to be going up and up for this obsessive compulsive shrewd Machiavellian until her dreams of world domination are interrupted by her immediate demise from a falling piano when she refuses aid to an impoverished family of illegal immigrants on the street corner."
