returns to the stage after an 18-year hiatus. She has contributed to over 25 productions in various backstage and ensemble roles, with sound board operation being her favorite. Emily is thrilled to be part of another production with her father and especially grateful for the full-circle moment of sharing the stage with her daughter for the first time. She thanks her dad, Gary, for instilling a love of theater and deep respect for the arts, and is grateful to Chris, Morgan, and the entire cast and crew for bringing this Christmas favorite to life. Emily dedicates this performance to her nephew, Michael, who she knows is watching from the best seat in the house.
