Testimonials
“In the short time that I have had to work with Emma, I have been honored to be able to see her work grow into something transformative. She excels in anything she puts her mind to and is exemplary to collaborate with. She thrives on hard work, dedication to the craft and the process. I look forward to the day that I am able to collaborate with her again.”
“In this amazing student production of Talley’s Folly, Emma Harris played Sally Talley as a kind of southern Rosie the Riveter. The actor who portrayed her beau, Matt Friedman, got a lot of laughs from the audience for both fast delivery and physical humor,as he pursued her to the boathouse outside the family estate. However, the performance depended upon Harris’ grounded and skeptical Sally, who inched her suitor forward with steady reality checks that seemed genuinely smart but not unloving. Such complex chemistry in a relationship is rare to pull off in college theater, yet thanks to Harris it was quite successful.”
“Emma is an incredibly hard worker and puts everything she can into the work she does. Her vast knowledge on history makes her an incredible resource, her humor makes the room light up, and she always finds a way to add a piece of herself in everything she is a part of. I’m so grateful for the time I’ve had to work with her!”
“Emma is a highly motivated artist and an emerging process driven practitioner of theatre. She is bright, forward thinking, a creative problem solver, and enthusiastic about her love of the theatrical art form. Meticulously detail oriented, she has a bright future ahead in theatre, film, and arts administration.”
