Meet the Company

is thrilled to be making her return to the stage after 7.5 years on hiatus. She has performed, directed, or stage managed over 30 plays/films. Her favorites include End of The Movie, The Vagina Monologues, Avenue Q, The Reprogramming of Jeremy, and The Producers. Emily had the honor of being in the original Poe cast, and while the “Maiden/Prisoner” holds a special place in her heart, she has loved getting to know Eliza. She would like to thank her family and friends for all their support and encouraging her to get back to her theatre roots. Enjoy the show!

has been acting practically since he could form full sentences. He's even acting right now -- look at him! He's acting! Previous local credits include: The Wizard of Oz at Wilmington Drama League, “Carl the Giant” in Big Fish at Griffin Theater. You can hear his voice as “Milo” in the YouTube series Corrupted Time and as “Sansom” in the upcoming YouTube series Zodiac Kingdom. If you want to see more of his performances, cast him in your show! No, seriously, please. It's so dark down here... Instagram: lalas181
