Edric Young is a film and theater actor fascinated by performance of authenticity, redemption, and transformation.

He started acting in San Francisco: Song Liling in M. Butterfly (dir. Bridgette Loriaux), Joe Pitt in Angels in America (dir. Michael Moran), and, most recently, Konstantin Gavrilovich Treplev in a staged reading of The Seagull (dir. Carey Perloff). Uniquely alight when collaborating on telling new stories, Edric’s favorite roles have included a perpetually-hungry ancestor in Eric Reyes Loo’s world premiere of Simple Mexican Pleasures (dir. Evren Odcikin) and a sentient, seemingly perfect robot son in fellow Hoosier Prince Gomolvila’s Running the Light (dir. Michael Rice). On camera, Edric leads Betty St. Clair (dir. Syra McCarthy and Kyle Casey Chu) as well as Little Chicken (dir. Eugene Ko and Christina Shen).

Raised around English, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese in the American Midwest, Edric enjoys poking at the ways language dictates what’s legible. Edric graduated from Stanford University — where he was a core company member with the Asian American Theater Project and voice student under Kathryne Jennings — and trained at A.C.T. and Berkeley Rep School of Theater.

Edric is based between New York and San Francisco. He is drawn to projects (and people) that champion love, liberation, and play.
