Erin Leigh Peck

Erin's TV credits include Law & Order SVU (NBC), Happy (Syfy), and the five-time Digital Daytime Emmy award winning Amazon series After Forever. Watch out for Erin on season two of After Forever as "Sofia"! Erin Leigh Peck decided she wanted to be an actress somewhere around the time she learned how to speak. She dragged her reluctant mother into the world of child acting, earning her Equity card at the age of 11 when she played "Laurie" in the First National Tour of Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs. She continued to work as a child actor (with incredible support from her parents!), including a season as Jane Kaczmareck's daughter on the CBS primetime drama Hometown. She attended NYU where she earned her BFA in acting. After college, Erin hit the road again, this time touring with the 1994 revival of Grease! and eventually making her Broadway debut as vacation swing for the New York company. She later replaced Tony and Drama Desk award winner Jennifer Simard in the cast of the original Off-Broadway production of I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, where she played over 16 different characters each night to packed houses. Erin starred as "Polly" in the ground-breaking, Off-Broadway musical Normal at the Transport Group. Frank Scheck of the NY Post called Erin Leigh's portrayal of the anorexic teenage daughter "Particularly moving" and Michael Dale of Broadwayworld.com voted Erin's performance of the song Pretty to the Bone, "My most memorable moment in a new musical this year." Erin was part of the original cast of the hit Off-Broadway musical Toxic Avenger at New World Stages. As a standby for Tony award winner Lena Hall and Tony nominee Nancy Opel, Erin was privileged to have the opportunity to stretch her acting and vocal chops to the limits, sometimes playing "Sarah", the bumbling blind girl with a heart of gold, and "Ma/Mayor", a challenging, dual-role character who sings a rangy rock duet with herself! Erin was a proud member of the original Off-Broadway cast of princesses in Disenchanted! at the Westside Theatre. Erin's unique standby position had her covering no less than four principal roles in the hilarious Off-Broadway musical hit. Erin has performed at the New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) a total of five times, including the 2014 production of Mr. Confidential where she earned an Outstanding Individual Performance award. Suzanna Bowling of the Times Square Chronicles called Erin "a standout" who's musical numbers "are worth the whole show." When she isn't performing, Erin is a contributing writer for the AARP's The Girlfriend digital magazine. She also works as a consultant for playwrights and provides content and editing services for a myriad of websites and blogs. Erin's play, Marjorie Gold, a dramedy about postpartum depression, was workshopped under the direction of Tony nominee Sheryl Kaller. Erin is a proud single mom to two amazing kids and one very lazy dog. She lives in New York City.
