Eric Weiss | Training & Design

Eric has been working with True To Life as a Team Leader and Content Specialist since 2003. His vast experience in the service industry makes him an important contributor to our content development team while his gifts as a teacher and ability to win over a crowd makes him one of the most engaging facilitators in the business today. Having studied with Jonathan Neelands, co-author of such books as Lessons for the Living: Drama and the Integrated Classroom, and Structuring Drama Work, Eric has developed True To Life’s Process Drama program into one that allows children and adults to learn experientially through theater techniques.

Prior to joining True to Life Eric was a member of the Performing Arts faculty at Emerson College, where he taught Acting, Directing, and Intro to Theatre. In addition, Eric was a member of The Rhythmics, an elite team of presenters and performers for the corporate world with clients such as Merck, Vanguard, Nike, Microsoft, and AT&T. Eric has brought his large group presentation experience to True To Life and has been vital to the development of our Creative Connections program, which joins actors and trainers into a high energy keynote presentation.

In addition to being an award winning actor and talented director, Eric’s long history in the service industry has seen him work for highly rated companies such as Marriott International, Interstate Hotels, and The Sapphire Group.

Eric holds a Bachelor of Sciences in Theatre from Syracuse University and a Master of Arts in Theatre Education from Emerson College. He lives in Beverly, Massachusetts, with his wife and two beautiful children.
