I'm Erica Schaeffer: a Southern California born and raised, now NYC 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: South Coast Repertory (The Incredible Book Eating Boy), Musical Theatre West (Education and Outreach Tour- Performer, Director), and Knott's Berry Farm (Many shows with the beloved Peanuts Gang!)

​

I relocated to NYC in the fall of 2026, but I'm still a local hire to the LA/OC areas in SoCal.

Thank you for stopping by! ​
