The Big Apple beckons for Erin

Phoenix Theatre team share a group hug in the rehearsal studio, smiling as they say goodbye to Erin.

There was plenty of emotion on show at this Monday's rehearsal, as one of our core Phoenix members came to say goodbye - before today leaving for New York.

Erin is about to start work as a Fundraising and Event Manager for Givergy, after graduating from Robert Gordon University, and we could not be happier for her.

Erin has been a part of Phoenix for the past 14 years - although she actually made her debut in our behind the scenes extras for 1998's A Grand Music Hall Extravaganza, as a grumpy toddler!

Her Phoenix Youth tenure saw her rise from one of Miss Hannigan’s orphans in Annie to starring as the venomous Rita in Billy, before graduating to become a Delta Nu in Phoenix Theatre’s Legally Blonde.

We know she’s about to make a great success of herself as this next chapter in her life unfolds. As long as she's ready to host a visitor or two to the Big Apple!
