Erika fell in love with Shakespeare & Company back in 2013 working on the summer season. Before finally relocating to the Berkshires, Erika was based in New York City lighting for television, theater, and dance. She had the pleasure of designing shows for everything from Red Bull Music to Animal Planet; and spent full seasons with some truly fabulous institutions such as San Francisco Opera, New York City Ballet, Broadway, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Erika spent her summers before S&Co as the Production Manager/ Head Electrician for Adirondack Theatre Festival, putting on Broadway-bound productions like Nikola Tesla Drops the Beat, Loch Ness, Calling All Kates, and Beau. Erika has also spent the last decade traveling the world as the Lighting Supervisor & Designer for Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo, a company of folks very close to her heart. After many years as the Lighting Supervisor for the Fall Festival, Erika is happy to finally put down roots and call Shakespeare & Company her full-time artistic home.
