ErinMarie Reiter

ErinMarie Reiter is a San Diego native and has been involved in theater since she was young, working both on stage and behind the scenes. Having studied musical and children’s theatre ErinMarie believes in the power of the arts and that opportunities in theatre are a vital component of a well-rounded education for all ages. She feels lucky to live and write about theatre in San Diego which has many world-renowned theatres and often is the birthplace of Broadway and worldwide blockbuster productions.  

 ErinMarie is President of the San Diego Critic’s Circle, works with educators to encourage the art of entertainment and liver performance writing, and is a member of the American Theatre Critics Association. When not at the theatre she can usually be found reading a book, cuddling with her animals, and going on adventures with her husband and her friends.

November 23, 2025

Review: ARMS AND THE MAN at Lamb's Players Theatre
Review: ARMS AND THE MAN at Lamb's Players Theatre
October 27, 2025

“Arms and the Man”, the classic George Bernard Shaw play, is currently skewering the romantic ideals of going to battle or falling in love with wit at Lamb’s Players Theatre through November 16th.  Under the sharp and playful direction of Deborah Gilmour Smyth, it turns 19th-century notions of heroism and passion delightfully upside down. It’s brisk, bright, very funny, and may have you craving something chocolate before it’s over.

Christopher Durang’s “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” is a riotous blend of sibling rivalry, absurdist farce, and Chekhovian melancholy.  A laugh-out-loud farce with real heart, Director Anthony Methvin finds balance in the absurdity while still landing the emotional punches.
