Since 2014, Elephant Room Productions has created world-premiere productions addressing societal elephants in the room like addiction, sexual abuse, suicide, and more. In addition, ERP runs a service for playwrights called the Elephant Ears Reading Series, and a podcast featuring audio plays and interviews called the Trumpet.
Praise for Suicide Stories: Gallery of the Untold “dizzy and exhilarating, and doesn’t end when we move to the exit….” - Broad Street Review “thoughtful…. A surprising reminder of how good it is just to be alive.” - Phindie
Praise for Salamander “an emotionally grounded, realistic, and well-crafted braid of stories… VillaMil’s script, enhanced by Shover’s resourceful staging and the actors’ powerful performances, doesn’t settle for easy answers.” - Broad Street Review
With every project, ERP donates a portion of the proceeds to an organization that works to make the world a better place. Organizations supported include, the American Mental Wellness Association, Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR), Shatterproof, and more.
