EMU Theatre

Thanks to everyone who came out - it was a hell of a lot of fun, and it was extremely difficult to cast.

Boston's Final Borning by Ron Willis, a one man play tells the story of Boston Corbett the man who shot and killed Lincolns assassin, John Wilkes Booth.

The Premier Performance will be Friday, August 21st at 8:00 PM, the 146th Anniversary of Quantrills raid and will run again Saturday, August 22nd, and Friday and Saturday the 28th and 29th of August, all at 8:00 PM.

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick reminder that EMU Theatre needs to fill 2 board seats that will be vacant after this term, and we are accepting nominations! No specific experience is required--we are looking for people willing to put in their time and creativity to our Board. This includes helping plan future shows/seasons, dealing with the month-to-month organizational issues, and bringing their own fabulous energy to our wonderful Board of Directors.
