Erin Celello

By Scott Haden

Erin is an English and Creative Writing instructor with UW-Madison’s Odyssey Project and runs Odyssey Beyond Wars for military veterans. She is the author of the novels Miracle Beach and Learning to Stay (Penguin/NAL), the latter adapted for Forward Theater by James DeVita. Her work also includes essays in various publications and a monologue for Forward Theater.

A born-and-raised Yooper, Erin has lived in the Madison area since 2005. She and her husband, Aaron Olver (known as A&E to their families) are longtime Forward patrons and are thrilled to be able to now share their love of theater and the arts with their two sons, ages 11 and 12.
