THESE SEVEN SICKNESSES
​The Flea Theater

*Drama Desk Nomination for Best Direction by Ed Iskandar
*New York Times Critic's Pick
*Backstage Critic's Pick
"The fight choreography ranges from testosterone-driven fisticuffs ... to the brutal murder of Clytemnestra by her children Elektra ... and Orestes (made a kind of disturbed cherub by Erik Olson)." 
-TheaterMania
"Erik Olson is equally terrific as her incestuously inclined, blonder-than-blond, horny twink of a brother Orestes."
-Broadway Bulletin
"There are many fine performances ... most memorably in the cast of Elektra... and Erik Olson as her golden-boy, bloody incestuous brother Orestes."
-The Faster Times
"In a strong ensemble cast, there were a few standouts ... All three siblings of Elektra, including the rabid title character ... and her wild-eyed brother (Erik Olson) ... were strong."
-New York Theater Review ​
"The bloodiest murder of all though is committed by a crazy Elektra ... and her equally insane brother Orestes, the creepily angelic Erik Olson."
- Exeunt Magazine

RESTORATION COMEDY
The Flea Theater

Directed by Ed Sylvanus Iskandar
"Some highlights include ... Erik Olson, who injects life to the play with his impressive acrobatics as Young Fashion." 
- Show Business Magazine

DRACULA
​Williamstown Theatre Festival

Directed by Jordan Fein
"Olson's ever-rising level of intensity was done with perfection, as he slowly escalated from bugs to birds to a small, soft kitten. Done with just enough humor to keep it from being too frighteningly gory, he was never the less mad as a hatter."
-The Williamstown Advocate

PSYCHO BEACH PARTY
​Pipeline Theater Company

Directed by Daniel Johnsen
"Olson is sweet and brash as the young turk of the Malibu beach scene and has an easy camaraderie with his fellow surfers."
