Emily Floyd BIO

Emily Floyd is an actor, a singer, a writer, a creator, and a self-proclaimed nerd.

She was born in South Carolina, where she was raised on a healthy appetite of dance lessons, musical theatre, Super Nintendo, and fried food.

In elementary school, Emily had her first line in a show: "I do not believe in snow." From that moment until her last year of high school, Emily took dance, theatre, and singing lessons and performed in numerous productions with Town Theatre of Columbia in South Carolina.

Her senior year, she was accepted to New York University, her dream school. She graduated from high school with honors and moved from South Carolina to New York City to study theater at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. While at Tisch, she studied with Playwrights Horizons Theater School and the Stonestreet School of Film and Television. In addition, she served as Vice President of Tisch's Undergraduate Student Council and oversaw Tisch's part in school-wide competitions, events, and grant programs. She also worked for the Undergraduate Admissions Office and showed off her school with pride to prospective students.

Emily was selected as student speaker for Tisch's 2008 commencement ceremony. That May, she addressed her fellow graduates from the stage at Madison Square Garden and received her B.F.A. in Theatre from NYU Tisch.

Since then she's been hard at work pursuing her creative career in New York City. She founded the Box Full of Wasps Theatre Collective with her collaborator Jenna Lauren Freed and served as Assistant Creative Director of the company. She also performed as a member of the Beautiful Soup Theatre Collective. Together with creative partner Anne Richmond, she created, wrote, produced, and starred in the original webseries This Is Art (www.watchthisisart.com).

When she's not auditioning, rehearsing, or performing, she spends her time directing children in her favorite musicals, working at her alma mater with current Tisch students, and rolling dice to determine her stats. Emily lives in Manhattan in an apartment equipped with video games in the living room and her family's Southern cookbook in the kitchen. In other words, although she's a city girl now, she's never too far from her roots.
