Hi, I’m Eric Winick.

(he/him) I’m originally from Marblehead, Massachusetts (“Birthplace of the American Navy”), and home for me now is Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn, New York.   After graduating from Middlebury College, I spent four years in Washington, DC, where I worked as artist and/or administrator for the Potomac Theater Project, Arena Stage, Theater J, and The Studio Theater. In the mid-90s, I moved to New York City to work as Director of Marketing for The Drama League. From 1999-2014, I served as Director of Marketing for the off-Broadway theater Playwrights Horizons, where I co-created the marketing campaigns for Doug Wright’s I Am My Own Wife (Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award); Wright, Frankel, and Korie’s Grey Gardens (Tony Award); Annie Baker’s The Flick (Pulitzer Prize); and many more, including plays by Samuel D. Hunter, Bruce Norris, and Leslye Headland; I also created the theater’s first podcasts. From 2014-2022, I served as Chief Marketing Officer at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, where I led a team of fifteen marketers, editorial directors, PR directors, and graphic designers, and created the JCC’s 1st subscription podcast.

As a creator: my play Rearviewmirror was developed at the National Playwrights Conference and was later produced off-Broadway at 59 East 59th Street Theater. My writing has appeared on/in Looper, YourTango, slips slips; the Medium publications Counter Arts, Political Prism, and Fanfare; and a book about XTC.

As proprietor of Yarn Audioworks: co-hosted, produced, and edited the weekly podcast Scare U. (2001-24) My audio doc "How Are You Who You Are?" (co-produced with Jay Allison) aired on NPR's "All Things Considered.; "Blue Collar Babysitter" and "All Grown Up Blues" aired nationally on American Public Media's "The Story"; other pieces have been broadcast in Anchorage, Austin, Birmingham, Champaign-Urbana and DeKalb (IL), Chicago, Minneapolis, New England, Portland and Salem (OR), Santa Monica, and Seattle. All audio docs may be heard here.
