Emily is a North Dakota based director/choreographer, and faculty with University of North Dakota Theatre Arts. She is thrilled to call North Dakota home again, after taking a brief hiatus for studies and freelance work. Her directing and choreography is most recently seen in ‘Carrie: The Musical” with UND Theatre Arts, ‘Mamma Mia’ at the Firehall Theatre, and she acted, directed, and was movement specialist for ‘The 39 Steps’ with Empire Theatre Company. Emily holds a dual MFA in Acting and Directing from Western Illinois University, and a BFA in Musical Theatre from University of North Dakota. When she’s not working on the stage, you can catch her making a mean cup of coffee and hanging out with her two fur babies Peek & Persephone.
