Eric is currently serving as the Executive Director of Germantown Community Theatre.  He is a former member of the Board of Directors at Theatre Memphis.  He has been seen onstage in several productions around Memphis, but fancies himself a spectator more than anything.  "I saw my first show on Broadway in 1992, "A Streetcar Named Desire" starring Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange.  Since then, I've seen several dozen shows in NYC and now in the hundreds in the local Memphis scene. I've always been drawn to technical elements of shows, trying to understand how the magic of live theatre is produced."  A special thanks to Hank McDaniel, my theatre professor in college, who really fanned the flames for this love.
