MY LIFE IS A SONNET

My first Hollywood Fringe show. Heck, my first one person show! Listening to Eric tell his story as Charlie felt like listening to a friend telling a gripping story of his past, warts and all. Eric wasn't acting. He became Charlie and I was truly on the edge of my seat waiting to hear how everything in his fictional life turned out. Thank you Hollywood Fringe for hosting such a wonderful event.... full review

These days we cringe, but once upon a time we used to find the courage to tell someone else about our fumblings and foibles with as much honesty as we could muster even as we winced at our failings and forgave ourselves all in the same breath.

This is thoughtful, mature theater at its fi... full review

Incredibly entertaining and moving one man show. Eric has mined the "T" (truth) from his real life experiences into an honest, funny, insightful, heartfelt show. His performance is amazing--somehow both raw and self-aware. Confident in what he's sharing but also self-deprecating and funny. The play is a tightly written at 60 minutes with so many great details and callbacks. The final one had the audience gasp.... full review

A wonderful one hour one man show that is masterfully acted by Eric Weiner. Performed with such a light touch, ease and comfort, it made us feel as audience members relaxed, effortlessly engaged. It felt as though it was fully autobiographical. ... full review
