Emma Wisniewski Joins Cast of SOUPS, STEWS, AND CASSEROLES: 1976 at The Rep
Actress Emma Wisniewski, a Queens native and graduate of NYU-Tisch, will join the cast of award-winning playwright Rebecca Gilman's Soups, Stews and Casseroles: 1976, a world-premiere play commissioned for the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. Rehearsals begin in St. Louis on February 18th, and the play runs March 12th-30th.
Soups, Stews and Casseroles: 1976 is set in Monroe, Wisconsin, a small town which turns into a battleground when its main employer is acquired by a major manufacturer. Kim, a family man and lifelong factory employee, must choose between union loyalty and a promotion that offers his family a better future. Emma will play the role of Kelly, Kim's overachieving and idealistic teenage daughter.The role of Kelly resonated deeply with Emma, who says "it's so gratifying to portray a truly intelligent young woman who cares about the world around her. As a teenager, I remember being really inspired and encouraged by the strong female characters I saw on the stage, and it's always a joy to give that back to audiences." She is also a longtime admirer of Rebecca Gilman's work, and says of her: "working with her is a bucket-list item for me. I'm completely thrilled."
