Erika Wilson
Actor & Teaching Artist
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Erika Wilson! I'm an actor and teaching artist who's new to Chicago. I graduated from Stephens College with a BFA in Theatre Arts - Acting. As well as completing the Summer Conservatory program at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in NYC. I've worked all over the country from St. Louis, MO (my hometown), to Peoria, AZ, to NYC, to Okoboji, IA, and now to Chicago, IL.
My purpose when it comes to acting and teaching are one and the same. I believe that I can demonstrate to audiences and students how to build confidence and self esteem, prove that vulnerability doesn't have to be scary, and remind everyone that you're never too old to play! Seriously, on that last one. I ask people to pay me to play pretend or teach them how to play pretend. If we're not having fun, we're doing something wrong!
