Outside Mullingar - Reverie Theatre Company, Austin, TX - Lead Actress, Producer, Set/Costume Designer
Nominated - Best Small Cast Performance - B. Iden Payne Awards 2019
Nominated - Best Lead Actress in a Drama - BroadwayWorld Awards 2019
“This production by the Reverie Theatre in Austin reminded me why a theatre writer pursues the art. Their staging of Outside Mullingar is the sort of revelation that moves, surprises, intrigues and removes you entirely from the here and now…Only about once a season do we get a production of this depth, intimacy, and authenticity…Erin Una Olson as Rosemary is sharp, sullen and assertive. She is a brooding, powerful presence.” -Michael Meigs, CTXLiveTheater.com
“Rosemary Muldoon is given life by the exquisite, multi-talented Erin Una Olson. Rosemary is a fiery spirit with a cunning brain and a seemingly infinite amount of patience. Olson relishes this role with the hunger of a hostage and it is a delicious performance. Olson also provides elaborate set and costume designs just right for the space.” -Jesse Griffith, BroadwayWorld.com

“Daniel Goldstein’s stylish, sexy production of Christopher Hampton’s play “Les Liaisons Dangereuses” has more on its mind than style and sex…with a Chanel logo here, a Lagerfeld boot there, and broadly American accents all over the place, Goldstein and his team make sure we see the parallels between decadent 18th-century French aristocrats and those closer to our own lives….The costumes [are] brilliantly conceived by newcomer Erin Olson.” – The Boston Globe
“The Huntington Theater Company’s opulent revival…mixes period with contemporary razzle-dazzle. Erin Olson’s costumes stuff pinstriped Karl Lagerfeld inspirations into high boots and bolster Vivienne Westwood with 18th-century panniers...It’s all very striking.” –The Boston Phoenix
“Erin Olson’s splendid costumes appropriate haute style from a variety of periods.” –Variety
“The kind of production the Huntington has become known for over the years, with a dazzling set and arresting and sumptuous costumes…Erin Olson’s costumes epitomize the cross-temporal collisions playwright Hampton and director Goldstein have emphasized, borrowing equally from Watteau and Fragonard on the one hand and from Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood and even Frederick’s of Hollywood on the other.” – The Patriot Ledger
“The highlight of the evening is clearly Erin Olson’s elegant costumes, which are rooted in the 18th century with contemporary flair.” –The Standard Times
