Emily has been working in musical theatre for the past 16 years, exploring nearly every side of the stage—from backstage hand and crew member to choreographer, director, and performer. Their love for theatre began at The Mac-Haydn Theatre, where they worked for over 15 years and proudly call their “artistic home.” 

Currently, Emily is proud to work with Proctors Collaborative, supporting efforts to bring the magic of live theatre to communities throughout the Capital Region. They believe in the power of theatre to connect people, tell important stories, and ignite joy in audiences, and they are grateful to play a part in keeping that tradition alive.
