Testimonials
“We are a small theater company - really just a handful of artists who felt compelled to tell stories - and we'd never been able to find purchase with the press or with audiences. After we started working with Emily, suddenly our career exploded, with almost instant press coverage followed by larger and larger outlets covering our every move. Despite our company never getting any bigger and our artistic aspirations never changing, Emily had brought us into the limelight, with Critic's Picks in all the major arts organizations and, eventually, a Sunday New York Times cover story. Many people consider us one of the luckiest theater companies in New York but the truth is, we made our own luck when we started working with Emily.”
Sean Williams, Gideon Productions
“Working with Emily helped change the profile of our company and really put us on the map. She so thoughtfully arranged features, interviews and reviews and played such a crucial part in taking our work to the next level. We never want to do a show without her!"
Julia Greer, The Hearth
