About
A life in the
arts.
Erin Cross is a Hudson Valley-based actress, vocalist, and voice teacher whose work spans regional musical theatre, dramatic stage, concert performance, and private studio instruction.
The Story
Trained in the tradition,
devoted to the moment.
Erin's relationship with the stage began early — first as a young performer in school musicals, then as a serious student of voice and dramatic interpretation. Over two decades of performance work, she has built a versatile career grounded in truthful storytelling and a deep respect for the music itself.
Her credits include leading roles in regional productions of Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, John Cariani's Love/Sick, and the rarely-staged Drood ensemble work The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Her concert work — from anthem performances at minor league games to evenings of Broadway and rock standards — reflects a singer comfortable in many idioms.
Alongside her performance career, Erin maintains an active teaching studio, working with singers from late-elementary age through adult professionals. She approaches every voice as singular: there is no one technique, no single sound. There is only the work of helping a singer find what is already, distinctly, theirs.
