Welcome to “erikaritter.com”. On this website, you can learn about my professional life as a playwright, novelist, humorist, essayist, radio broadcaster, journalist, public speaker and stage performer, with plays and prose widely produced in Canada, the United States, Britain, Japan, Israel and elsewhere. But by way of introduction, I’d like to give you a quick snapshot of me as a person.

I grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan in the 1950s and early 60s, wistful for worlds beyond. Early on, I developed an enormous love of books, movies and TV comedy and drama, an irrepressible imagination, and lots of ambition for a career in the arts. To this day, I continue to marvel at the good fortune that’s allowed me to survive—and occasionally, thrive—in arts-allied professions. For more about my personal view of writing, visit “This Writing Life”.

Thanks for visiting my website.
Best,

Erika Ritter.
