About Richard Ehrlich

Richard Ehrlich is a playwright, composer, lyricist, author and recording artist whose work explores the invisible labor that holds families together, neurodivergence, civic dialogue, belonging and the cost of moral endurance.

Before his creative career, Richard spent forty-five years as a general and pediatric dentist. He is an Eagle Scout and a graduate of New York University, and along the way invented the Confession Hotline and created the Charm Girl line of beauty products.

His theatrical work includes three original musicals—All at Once!, TONIC: Finding Euphoria and The Breath: Coming Home—and six stage plays: The Weight, The Third Chair, Fearless Secrets, The Interview, The Long Present and The Outlier.

Richard's GoYou inspirational series, written under the pen name Jack Cummings, offers practical wisdom and encouragement for readers discovering their potential and living authentically.

He records original music as Richie E., with three albums: Midnight on Biscayne, Blue Heat and East of Everything. He is also the creator of Meldio, an AI production platform that transforms creator-owned written content into professional multi-voice audio experiences.

Richard is a member of the Dramatists Guild of America and operates GoYou Brands, LLC. He lives in New York.
