ABOUT EM / ABOUT THEM

Em is an actor, vocalist-musician, arts administrator, and visual artist based in Minneapolis, MN.

Originally from the Chicagoland area, Em moved to Minneapolis to pursue a dual degree in Theatre Arts and Business Administration/Marketing at the University of Minnesota. Recent theatre credits include the Guthrie Theater, The Gray Mallard Theater Co., Trademark Theater, Artistry Theater, Theatre Pro Rata (Company Member), Minneapolis Musical Theater, BARd Shakes, and The Birth Play Project.

They are rooted in physical storytelling, reframing the classical to the contemporary, and spent several months researching the use of pronouns as they relate to time in Samuel Beckett’s works for the stage, then created a piece about it. They always imbue their work with a bit of magic.

As a queer, trans/non-binary performing artist, they embrace the fluidity, complexity, and power within their artistic expression and work to uplift all trans/GNC artists.

Em is the eldest of 8 and cares deeply for those around them. They strive to maintain people-first, process-oriented work environments.

Offstage, they serve as an arts administrator and marketer.
