Eric B. Sirota

Eric B. Sirota (music) is a composer, playwright and physicist. He studied music composition at Brown University and received his PhD in Physics at Harvard. His musical, “Frankenstein”, based on Mary Shelley’s novel, has been playing Off-Broadway at St. Luke’s Theatre for almost 3 years. It has previously been developed at NYMF. "Your Name on My Lips" a musical about following one's passion with obsession and commitment, was produced by Theater for the New City. He is currently developing "Go, My Child", a musical about leaving one’s parents, infertility and the search for truth, set against a background of xenophobia - an original account of the early lives of familiar biblical characters. He was honored to receive the Denis Diderot Artists-in-Residence grant to attend the Chateau d'Orquevaux artist's residency in 2019, where he had the opportunity to work on a new musical, "A Good Day", about the power of music to rekindle memory and awaken the mind, which is now in development. Working with playwright Vin Morreale, Jr., Eric was the composer of "A Day at the White House", a musical comedy which was just released as a podcast.
