Photos: EMILY D—STAR-CROSSED EMPLOYEE At The Tank

Get a first look at EMILY D—STAR-CROSSED EMPLOYEE, now running at The Tank’s 56 Seat Theater (312 West 36th Street). Performances run from Monday, February 24th to Tuesday, March 4th. See photos from the production.

Emily Dickinson may not be the star employee at Build-A-Buddy (not to be confused with Build-A-Bear) Workshop, but she sure as hell makes things interesting. But, when Emily’s “Employee of the Month” manager Stacy delivers an ultimatum – fall in line or get fired – Emily’s rebellion reaches a breaking point. Enter customers Tiffany and Brad, who are headed to Build-A-Buddy for their two (or is it five?) year anniversary. Once they cross the threshold into Corporate America, Build-A-Buddy becomes more than just a retail store. It becomes a breeding ground for love, secrets, and vengeance — and alters four lives forever.

The company of Emily D is led by Bre Tomey* as Emily Dickinson, Sarah Hogewood* as Stacy, Pasquale Crociata* as Brad, and Zoe Dean as Tiffany.

Emily D— is written by Melissa Maney and directed by Ellie Handel. The show features Scenic & Prop Design by Rae Haas, Costume Design by Alison Gensmer, Lighting Design by Em Stripling, Projection Design by Kaitlin Gaspar & Jordan Rose Bernstein, and Sound Design by Jordan Rose Bernstein. Rafaela Gaia Penkin is the Production Stage Manager & Assistant Director. Kelly Pekar is the Dramaturgy and Creative Consultant for the production, and the Show Art was designed by Julia Rifino.
