Erica Andracchio

Executive Director
I like to think of myself as "a woman with many hats". I am always busy, and if I'm not I'm bored. I'm not only an actress but a stage manager as well with Left Coast Theatre Company in San Francisco. I've also started a journey as a playwright with Left Coast and hoping to broaden those horizons.
