​Emma

​Music by Sarah Taylor Ellis
​Book and lyrics by Meghan Brown

Emma Woodhouse, handsome and clever and rich, amuses herself by matchmaking for her friends - until she meets her own match. Is opening herself up to the possibility of romance worth the sacrifice of her independence and control? With a fresh book and soaring score, this contemporary classical adaptation of Jane Austen's novel explores the necessary risk of feeling your feelings.
