Back for Round 2! Cue “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” ♫
Fall 2026
This past fall I had the great honor of portraying A, a character inspired by the iconic Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in Mario Correa’s play N/A at the Kitchen Theatre in Ithaca, NY! The play is a two-hander based on the relationship between - and differing perspectives of - AOC and Nancy Pelosi; it was an incredible challenge, and provoked some deeply thoughtful post-show conversations about the best path forward for our country. And in an unreal twist of fate - Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez actually visited Ithaca during our run, and we got to MEET HER! A surreal experience all around.

Summer 2026
19 different characters. 90 minutes. Countless hats, mustaches, coats, and steps sprinted backstage between entrances. 80 days. 1 trip around the world. Had an absolute sweaty blast making my Shadowland Stages debut with Around the World in 80 Days playing just about everyone but Phileas Fogg!
Winter 2025
After a beautiful Fall spent auditioning and soaking up NYC, I had the enormous privilege to return to Hartford Stage as Mrs. Cratchit in their beloved annual production of A Christmas Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas! Helmed by Tony Award-winning director, and original adapter, Michael Wilson (a fellow UNC Chapel Hill alum!), the show was truly the heart of a wonderful holiday season.

Summer 2025
Back to the Barnstormers I go for some good old-fashioned murder! Thrilled to be reuniting with dear friends for a rep season - rehearsing Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap by day, and performing the world premiere of Jordan Reeves’ Front Row to Murder at night!
Spring 2025
Summer 2024 (BONUS!!)
In a wild turn of events, I was called in as a last-minute replacement for Lizzy in Kate Hamill’s Pride and Prejudice at the Barnstormers Theatre!
So with 24 hours’ notice, I raced up to Tamworth, NH, re-memorized the part (which I last played at Greenbrier Valley Theatre in 2021), and went on the following night for the first of 6 performances! It was a totally delightful whirlwind, and I’m honored to have been asked to step in. The cast and company at the Barnstormers are all rockstars and made me feel so welcome. Let’s hear it for swings and understudies!!
Spring & Summer 2024
I’m thrilled to return to an artistic home of mine, GVT, to play Track #3 in Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery! I’ve had my eye on this play for a while, and couldn’t ask for a better team to bring it to life with. After that, I will make my Barnstormers Theatre debut in Tamworth, NH as the lead in Agatha Christie’s Go Back for Murder. I am so excited to round out what I am now affectionately calling my ‘Summer of Mysteries’!
Fall & Winter 2023
Rounding out the year with two classics in one of my favorite places, re-visiting the role of Shelby in Steel Magnolias, and taking on Scrooge’s lost love Belle in A Christmas Carol. Come stop by Greenbrier Valley Theatre in Lewisburg, WV and see us!

She is so excited to get to work on these two beautiful shows, and hike all the nearby peaks on her days off!
Fall 2021
And it’s off to Lewisburg, West Virginia for Pride and Prejudice at Greenbrier Valley Theatre! Elizabeth Bennet has always been a dream role for Emily, and she’s so glad to be re-visiting the wacky world of Jane Austen via Kate Hamill. Check it out here September 24th to October 9th!

Emily will be playing the role of Emily (!) in Seared by Teresa Rebeck at Gloucester Stage from August 6th through 22nd. Check it out here! She couldn’t be happier to finally be returning to live theater, and is so grateful for all of the work put into making rehearsals and performances safe for staff and audiences alike.

Emily wrapped production on her short film, The New Year! It was her first time writing, directing, editing, and acting in a project, and she learned a ton. Watch it here!
May 2020
Emily graduated with an MFA in Acting from UNC Chapel Hill / PlayMakers Repertory Company! She’s wildly proud of this accomplishment, and of the beautiful classmates who were by her side through it all. The ceremony may have been over Zoom, but not even COVID-19 can dim her joy! You can watch her Digital Showcase scene here. Onward and upward!
December 2019
Emily was cast in PlayMakers Repertory Company’s upcoming production of Everybody by Brandon Jacobs Jenkins! Under the direction of Orlando Pabotoy, she will be one of five brave actors assigned their roles by lottery each night as they fight for the chance to cheat Death in this hilarious re-imagining of the 15th-century morality tale. She is so excited to take on this challenge; check out the show here!
