Director's Note:

When Eric auditioned for us in NYC, we were amazed at his talent and heart. Eric is a true triple threat, working hard to make a career for himself, and it will surely come. Eric is one of the best actors we have met in a long time, and we have been producing professional theater for 25 years. He has a beautiful spirit about him, a natural-ness that is often hard to find, even in NY. When Eric talks, the audience listens. Just something about him. You are captivated by what he's thinking, saying and doing. The mark of a great actor! Eric is also a wonderful singer and dancer. We couldn't be happier with his work during rehearsals - his dedication and his character growth. He's got it all. Look for his name in the big lights of Broadway soon. He's a great example of everthing awesome about Theater!
