The Madness of Small Worlds

Written by Mac Wellman
Directed by Elena Araoz
With Sleeping Weazel

"Erin Mallon plays ‘A very tall young girl...’ and does delicious, delicate justice to Wellman’s purling riot of wordplay."

— Kilian Melloy, EDGE Media Network

"The acting here was top notch...Special kudos to Ms. Mallon, who delivered an incredible monologue as the tall, thin girl on the charcoal road...It is a mind bending experience, so much so you may hear a snap."

— Richard DiMaggio, didyouweekend.com

Requiem for Black Marie

Written by Sara Farrington
Directed by Shannon Sindelar
With Incubator Arts Project

"Erin Mallon as Bess is arguably the most fiery and sympathetic presence on stage, possibly because Farrington has tapped into the tragedy of her abused talent more poignantly, possibly because Mallon herself has a naturally intense focus, and probably because it's simply a great collaboration."

— Stephen Cedars, nytheatre.com

The Sister

Written by Eric John Meyer
Directed by Jess Chayes
With Dutch Kills

"Erin Mallon is enthralling as Colleen, magnificently reconciling the character’s naive submissiveness and righteous fury."

— Mitch Montgomery, backstage

"Erin Mallon finds incredible depth in her nuanced portrayal of Colleen, from the childlike, frightened, captive to the grounded woman she later becomes."

— Julia Hochner, New York Theatre Review

Mickey and Sage

Written and Directed by Sara Farrington
With Incubator Arts Project

"What a breath of fresh air this play is! Farrington’s shrewd touch and her performers' acumen (Farrington wrote the play expressly for Frederick and Mallon, veterans of her work) provide children-played-by adults that read as real."

— PJ Grisar, nytheatre.com

Branched

Written by Erin Mallon
Directed by Robert Ross Parker
With InViolet Theater Company

"I would say without hesitation that BRANCHED is one of my favorite off off Broadway productions of the last several years. Far more twisted than could possibly be anticipated from its description, the laughs never stop – nor do the shudders. The Jenkins-Laurence family could potentially be the most dysfunctional to appear in a play since The House of Yes, and I mean that comparison as a definite compliment. Erin Mallon’s unrelenting script coupled with Robert Ross Parker’s inventive staging give life to an unfathomably bizarre tale that I hope lives on past this first mounting."

— Greg Solomon, Theatre is Easy

"This play is hilarious, hitting exactly the right note, right off the bat. First, Erin Mallon's script is sharp, witty, and wildly unapologetic, loaded with reasons to laugh at the unfortunate people who populate her play. Robert Ross Parker deftly directs the piece, with no space or moment wasted, with nothing shied away from, and yet nothing grossly overdone - Mallon and Parker toss us into the ridiculousness of this world from the very first moment, leaving us uncomfortably knowing that anything might be possible... and yet the play never steps off into the world of unnecessary (a wonderful treat in a world in which I was happy to give over and laugh)."
