Eric Scott Golovan
Actor-Director-Educator
Hey y’all!!
My name is Eric (he/him) and I am a New York City-based Actor, Director, and Theatre Educator!
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and even though I was the best dandelion-picker on the soccer team, my parents decided the better move would be to send me to the Jewish Community Center’s summer theatre camp, where I learned all sorts of parodies, songs about matzah ball soup, and Hebrew/Yiddish words. I may not be a soccer player anymore but I got lots of chutzpah!
Some of my favorite work has been in developing new works, Shakespeare and other classical texts, and contemporary drama. In New York, my work has been seen at the Laurie Beechman Theatre, Don’t Tell Mama, and Bank Street Theatre. Recently, I also performed in A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Demetrius), Beyond Therapy (Bob), and the development of Sorry God Sometimes I Just Say Things (Leor).
Aside from my artistic adventures, I get very excited about Spongebob, SoulCycle, kangaroos, avocados, socks, roller coasters, and Trader Joe’s. In fact, I have dressed up as a Trader Joe’s employee for Halloween more than once!!
