ABOUT EMILY

Hi! I'm Emily, a theatre artist currently based in Chicago, IL. A lover of storytelling in all forms, I graduated from Northwestern University in 2022 with a major in theatre, a minor in world literature, a certificate in Music Theatre, and a module in Music Theatre Choreography, along with an an Honors Thesis in Theatre exploring the impact of “type”, the ingenue, and images of teenage girlhood onstage. Since graduating, I've performed at the Marriott Theatre, Chicago Shakespeare Theatre, Drury Lane Theatre, Northlight Theatre, and Raven Theatre . 

 

As a choreographer and director passionate about collaborative, positively impactful, ensemble-driven storytelling, i've worked on the other side of the table at Lookingglass Theatre, the Marriott Theatre, First Floor Theatre, Metropolis Performing Arts Center, Theatre Wit, and Paradox Theatre Works, along with extensive work for Northwestern's Mainstage. This winter, I'll be Katie Spelman's associate director/associate choreographer on Waitress at the Paramount Theatre. 

​

Raised in Seattle, Washington, I've performed regionally at its 5th Avenue Theatre, Village Theatre, and Second Story Repertory (Anne in Anne of Green Gables), and worked in education and choreography at Taproot Theatre, Studio East, and the 5th. When not in a rehearsal room, I love reading and discussing my favorite books or exploring nature, especially the mountains of my home state.
