Emma Wasserman has been an insufferable theatre kid since she first saw the National Tour of Wicked in elementary school. Now, as a grown-up insufferable theatre adult, she's dabbled in acting, lighting, playwrighting, and theatrical criticism. When she's not rambling about one show or another, she's talking about cats, looking at photos of cats, or petting any cat she sees on the street. Emma will graduate from Florida State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Creative Writing in Spring of 2026.
