Redhouse to Present THE BELLE OF AMHERST
Based on the life of poet Emily Dickinson from 1830 to 1886, set in her Amherst, Massachusetts home, this play makes use of her diaries and letters, recollecting her encounters with the significant people in her life - family, close friends, and acquaintances. It balances the agony of her seclusion with the brief, bright moments when she was able to experience some joy. This one woman performance features Jennifer Burke.
Redhouse is pleased to welcome Burke back for this performance. Recently, Burke served as dialect coach for the 2015 Rep Series and Broadway Bound. Burke is a New England native and worked for many years as an instructor of voice, speech and acting at the Boston Conservatory. Since 2006 she has called South Florida home and is an Associate Professor at the University of Miami, teaching voice and speech in the Bachelor of Fine Arts theatre training program and serving as Artistic Director of the SEEDS (Scientists and Engineers Expanding Diversity and Success) Interactive Theatre Ensemble.
