ABOUT THE SHOW
Jane Austen’s adored heroine gets the musical treatment in "EMMA" from acclaimed composer and lyricist Paul Gordon (“Daddy Long Legs,” “Jane Eyre”).
For centuries, "EMMA" has charmed and delighted readers - and now she does so onstage.
With the option of setting the show either in the Regency Era or mid-century modern, "EMMA" is truly a timeless tale of love, making mistakes, and holding yourself accountable.
A carefree woman, "EMMA" has "the very best blessings of existence" with "very little to vex or distress me."
"EMMA" is also a self-proclaimed matchmaker who thinks too highly of her abilities.
When her attempts at matchmaking and romance go awry, "EMMA" has to face herself and the people she has hurt.
"EMMA" is full of wit and charm.
See for yourself why everyone is falling in love with "EMMA." (MTI)
ABOUT THE CANNON THEATRE
THE CANNON THEATRE was founded by Shawn Cannon and Bret Bahe, who shared a dream of creating a community theater – a place for learning, and great plays, a place where people could enjoy the company of others, laugh, and just lose themselves in the joy of artistic expression. Over the years, the theater incorporated, and then became a non-profit organization, managed so that every precious cent made from each production is carefully fed right back into the creation of the next. THE CANNON THEATRE board, which still includes the theater’s very active and passionate founders, invites you to join us and experience this welcoming community, whether as an audience member, an actor, backstage crew, or even director. We guarantee you will leave feeling satisfied!
