Arkansas State University Theatre will open its fall season with EMMA, a lively new adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic novel by acclaimed playwright Kate Hamill. Directed by Brianna Larson, the production will run October 3–12, 2025, in Drama Theatre.
Hamill’s adaptation brings her trademark wit and modern sensibility to Austen’s world. The play follows Emma Woodhouse, a well-meaning but meddlesome heroine who attempts to orchestrate romance among her friends—only to discover that love has its own unpredictable plans. Overflowing with humor, charm, and social satire, this fresh take on Austen’s beloved tale promises an entertaining evening at the theatre.
