Born in Tokyo and raised globally, Shakespeare has always been at Richard Ericson’s core. At age seven—in Seoul, Korea—he congratulated legendary actor Helen Hayes on her performance there of her one-woman show, Shakespeare’s Women. She replied, “If you love something, you must do it.” Ericson has directed, produced, and coached in Hollywood, New York, Japan, and Australia, including Broadway and off-Broadway as well as regionally. He is thrilled to be reimagining and directing Midsummer. Thanks, Helen!
