Produced in the fall of 2021, Emmie was honored with the opportunity to assistant direct under Michael Huie, who also compiled this piece. She was put in charge of an “insults” scene where she blocked a scene out of a list of famous Shakespearean insults. Emmie also acted as a dramaturg, providing the actors with resources and strategies to understand the text. Outside of these responsibilities, she also worked with the Witches to develop the language of their movements and individual characters. About halfway through the rehearsal process, one of our actresses had to step away due to health issues. She served as a show-wide understudy, and thus performed as Tamora in addition to leading nightly physical and diction warmups and providing pre-show notes.
