Friday night @ the gorgeous Greenwich Village hotpot (le) poisson rouge, Erica Bradshaw, one of the most talented people you'll find any where in New York City, debuts as host of The Inspired Word's hot new event, Slamming Stories storytelling slam.


Erica's bio:


Erica Bradshaw has done it all during her years as a theater professional. As an actor, she began her career originating a role in an Arthur Miller play. From there, she honed her comedic and hosting skills in sketch comedy throughout Los Angeles and New York. She can be seen regularly as detective Dana Lyons/Court Clerk in over 25 episodes of " Law and Order: SVU.” She has also made appearances on other TV series such as "The Good Wife," "Rescue Me," and "Six Degrees,” and has done commercials and voice-overs nationally and locally. While working predominantly as an actor, Erica has also managed to write and perform her solo show "White AmErica Hero," work as a producer and associate director for several new works at Actors Theatre of Louisville, perform in several regional theaters and create "Ideas, Thoughts, Words and Actions - A story building workshop" for children and adults. Some of her greatest accomplishments have been her recent tour de force portrayal of Alma in Dael Orlandersmiths' "Yellowman," 15 years of teaching at-risk youth from LA to NY and many places in between, and working with Lambda Legal for true marriage equality in New Jersey.
