About the Artist
"My name is Emery.
You can remember that with your memory!"
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Emery is an actress and playwright currently based in Boston and Las Vegas. Her recent credits include Puck in Midsummer Night’s Dream and Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet (she loves Shakespeare and studied it in London). This year she finished writing her first full length play, MANIA, which has been in the works for the past four years, and Boston University included it in their New Works festival.

A Midsummer Night's Dream
By William Shakespeare
Emery first played the role of Puck when she was 16. It is what made her decide to do theatre for the rest of her life. In her senior year of college at age 22, she played the role once more. Six years worth of hard work and dedication to the craft, including studying Shakespeare in London, brought her performance to life in a way she never could have dreamed of back in high school.
Museum
By Tina Howe
In this unique comedy, characters come and go quickly, so Emery got to showcase herself in several different hats. Her main role, Chloe Trapp, is the Museum tour guide. But she also appeared as passersby throughout the play, characters she decided to make a cowboy and a Russian spy, giving her the opportunity to showcase her Russian and Southern accents as well as her quick wit and comedic timing.
Skriker
By Caryl Churchill
Emery is a big advocate for making and performing art exploring themes of mental health. Skriker is just that play. Emery played the roles of Dead Child, Johnny Squarefoot, and Brownie, getting an opportunity to showcase her movement training by using physicality to express the stories of these creatures. In addition, she participated throughout the show in a collection of ensemble based movement pieces. She is so thankful for this opportunity to collaborate and devise with others while telling a very powerful story.

More about Emery
When she's not acting and writing plays, here are some other things that bring Emery great joy!
With one family dog and four cats, Emery is the biggest animal lover you'll ever meet. She has been a foster for several litters of kittens less than a month old, and loves feeding the squirrels in the Boston Common in her free time when she is not in class or rehearsal. She refuses to kill spiders. She will get a cup or a piece of paper and make sure the spider gets out safely.
