I'm Erica Schaeffer: a Southern California based performing/visual artist and educator.

 

I began dancing at the age of 3, singing at the age of 10, and realized I could do BOTH at the same time during my freshman year of high school. (Mind blowing, I know.)

 

I earned a BFA in Musical Theatre from UC Irvine and since then I have worked regionally with companies like: McCoy Rigby Entertainment (The Sound of Music), Musical Theatre West

(Education and Outreach Tour 2023-2024), and Knott's Berry Farm (Many shows with the

beloved Peanuts Gang!)

 

Most recently, I made my South Coast Repertory debut in The Incredible Book Eating Boy, during which I joined AEA. 

​

When I am not on stage, I work as an arts educator for youth and I run my own small business, Dear Mary Studio. Do you like joyful/timeless earrings handmade with love? Check out my shop on Instagram and Etsy!
