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.

2009: Shoot Test Scene for Poor Elise (a
web series)
Erin Cronican as
Elise Brannigan
Erin is thrilled to have
been offered the role of Elise in this delightful, dark
episodic dramedy. Production will start with a test scene
as a trailer, which will be used to gain funding for further
episodes and, hopefully, distribution by a major network's
internet division. 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."
