EMILY BOSCO

Galileo’s Daughter

“The excellent performer Emily Bosco…plays this compelling character with a veracity and intellectual curiosity that anchors this new play as well as could be imagined.” - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

“Emily Bosco, who makes her Chicago Theatre debut as the Daughter, is simply superb. Eloquent, fervent, sometimes child-like, but always mesmerizing, Ms. Bosco should soon become a familiar face on Windy City stages.” - Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

“Bosco makes the deep, powerful love between this woman and her incarcerated father almost palpable.” - Karen Topham, Chicago Onstage

“The scene in which she reluctantly enters the convent, giving up freedom for the rest of her life, is one of the most powerful in the entire production. Bosco’s face and body say it all.” - Rikki Lee Travolta, Northwest Herald

“Maria Celeste Galilei…[is] portrayed by Emily Bosco with soulful forthrightness.” - Kerry Reid, Chicago Reader

Around the World in 80 Days

“I lost count of how many characters Emily Bosco embodied, but each was uniquely different, each was funnier than the one before, and each had the audience rolling in the aisles each and every time Bosco hit the stage running, limping, or oh, I don’t know… riding an elephant, whilst racing back to England.” - Jonathan Charles Fox, River Reporter

How I Learned to Drive

“Emily Bosco, Female Greek Chorus, delivers one of the rawest and most impactful monologues that I’ve ever heard as Aunt Mary.” - Nicole Noel, Triangle Arts and Entertainment

“Rounded out by the vigorous talents of a vivacious Emily Bosco…this show is a worthy addition to the PlayMakers‘ commitment to dauntless storytelling.”
- Melanie Simmons, Triangle Arts and Entertainment

“Cornell is unnerving as Uncle Peck... Bosco is equally captivating in the chorus, giving conflicting advice as Lil’ Bit’s mother and Uncle Peck’s patient wife, upholding the patriarchy in both roles.” - Katy Koop, INDY Week

Significant Other

“A nuanced Emily Bosco is the sensitive BFF Laura, whose feathers remain unruffled until Jordan’s inevitable, painful outpouring of truth. This scene is one of the most personally relevant and affecting monologue[s] I have experienced in the theatre, earning from me a brief--and unheard of--public sob.” - Dustin K. Britt, Chatham Life & Style

“Bosco’s soft and brutally honest portrayal of Laura… add[s] much to the heart of the story.
- Susie Potter, Triangle Arts and Entertainment

“Gephart and Bosco get the tough love right, matching each other blow for blow.”
- Byron Woods, INDY Week

Macbeth

“Whoa - Lady Macbeth actually freaked me out with that blood-curdling shriek! Her trembling hands, the wild tresses, the unraveling beauty - she really got to me. Nicely done y’all!” - PlayMakers Mobile patron
