Eric Island

Eric Island holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Southern Arkansas University and is a veteran of the US Army. Eric is excited to be working with Revels Theatre again as he participated in their Winter Revels show a few years ago. Revelation Coffee has truly been a fun yet emotional affair sharing this specific story of love, loss and perseverance that hopefully ALL patrons will relate to.  Eric has worked with Portland Playhouse in Chicken & Biscuits, What I Learned in Paris and The Sounds of Afrolitical Movement(Elegua/Egua). Also Bag&Baggage Theatre in Troy USA and The Measure of Innocence; Red Door Project Theatre; in Hands Up; Experience Theatre Project in Jekyll & Hyde and The Great Gatsby plus a bevy of other theaters over the years. You can find him on YouTube in the Sequestered Soliloquies series and Crossroads at Chambersburg; a documentary about the friendship between politician Frederick Douglas and radical activist John Brown. Eric also performs stand-up comedy at various mics around Portland and beyond, helping people laugh their blues away. He would like to thank his family and friends for all their prayers and support.
