Born and raised in Spanaway, Washington, Erika Godwin found the love of acting at an early age, starring (as most young actors do) in a junior high school production of Our Town, where she played the role of Emily. She has been acting steadily since that premiere, where she uttered Emily’s first line: “I’m the brightest girl in school for my age. I have a wonderful memory.”

Her real-life intelligence and “wonderful memory” helped Erika secure a bachelor’s degree at Western Washington University, where she graduated in 2004 with a degree in Theatre Arts. After graduating she relocated to Seattle and began acting immediately upon arrival.

Favorite roles include Nina in The Seagull, Bette in The Marriage of Bette and Boo, Frenchy in Grease, and Martirio in The House of Bernardo Alba. She has also appeared as Melody in the independent film Cupid, and Janie in Mallory’s End.

Erika currently resides in West Seattle with her husband Tyler and a pair of energetic young cats. When she is not acting, Erika loves traveling and enjoying the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
