Erica Ortega (sher/ her/ hers)
Actor/ Director
I am an LA-based performer, director and teaching artist. I graduated from CSULA with a bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts and have had the great fortune to bring theatre for young audiences, to under-resourced communities, since 1990. I joined Kaiser Permanente Educational Theatre in 1998. I toured as a performer from 1998 through 2006 and was the Program Supervisor and Director for the lower elementary programs since 2008. In addition to roles in film and television, I have worked with theatre companies such as LA Diversified, The Mark Taper Forum, South Coast Repertory, The Arizona Theatre Company and Playwright’s Arena. I am also a Program Leader with the Groundwater Institute. This year I will kick off a new project working to restore the murals and bring arts programming to the Estrada Courts Housing Projects.
