ACTOR. SINGER.

Background

Emma Harper is originally from Birmingham, Alabama. She has an incredible family and is one of four kids. From an early age, she was blessed to be immersed in the arts. Her mom was the Executive Director of the Alabama Ballet when she was born, and both of her parents come from a musical background. It was just a matter of time before she found herself in the world of the theatre. Besides all things performing, Emma loves spending time with her husband, Nick, cooking, baking, and anything where there are animals/babies.

As far as training, Emma started dancing in a variety of styles at a very young age. She started piano, voice, and horseback riding (English saddle) lessons in elementary school. She did her first regional production of Bye Bye Birdie in the fifth grade and also joined Red Mountain Theatre’s Ensembles that she would participate in until she graduated high school. Emma then went on to graduate Summa Cum Laude with a BFA in Musical Theatre from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL. There, she had the opportunity to perform/assist in many Main Stage, Studio, and workshop productions alongside and under the direction of incredible theatre artists, as well as to help backstage/front-of-house.

 

Where is she now

After graduating from the University of Miami, Emma had the privilege of returning to Red Mountain Theatre in two of their Main Stage productions (Beauty and the Beast and Mamma Mia). From there, she got married to her college sweetheart, and they spent some time in New York City until the pandemic hit. They then moved out to Los Angeles for a brief stint before landing a job cruising and performing together up and down the Mississippi River with American Queen Voyages. Emma just wrapped her 3rd season as the Cruise Director, Lead Female Singer, and Show Captain - performing a different show every night of the week alongside an incredible group of musicians.
