Around the World3/17/2016 Five Actors 42 Characters Four Continents One Theatre Running through April 3rd (a little under 80 days ;) "This antic romp, employing only five actors, takes the Verne classic and kicks it lovingly in the ass... No others are necessary, all five are perfectly over-the-top. Traveling the world with these pros is a grand, goofy adventure." - Houston Press "Emily Trask plays various characters but was most notable as Aouda, the Indian ingenue and Fogg's love interest... Trask is wonderful. She is beautiful and graceful as Aouda one second, and slinging guns, confident, and powerful the next." -Broadway World "Sweet, very funny Emily Trask (who we will get to see again, she's become a member of the Alley's acting company) does four roles, including Aouda.... She really makes you care about her falling in love with her starchy rescuer." - Houston Theatre Year "Ready for a funny, fast-paced, and creative adventure?Around the World in 80 Days [at] The Alley Theater in Houston more than fits the bill.
It is hard to say if there is a standout in this wonderful ensemble cast. You will experience everything during this performance including slapstick comedy, suspense, a love story and even danger." Texas Lifestyle Magazine All New2/8/2016 This past month I had the honor of participating in the ground breaking First Annual Alley All New Festival. The festival, produced by Elizabeth Frankel (who joined the Alley from New York's Public Theatre this year), is an exciting opportunity to be a part of the "middle step" in the birth of a new play. The festival consisted of six new plays, all at different stages of development. I was fortunate enough to get to be in the workshop production of Miller, Mississippi, a new Southern Gothic that spans over 20 years, written by Boo Killebrew and directed by Lee Sunday Evans. Working so closely with the playwright on this remarkable new play has been a rare gift, as has being a part of the Festival as a whole. Watch for Miller, Mississippi at a theatre in near you, because this is one southren ghost story that has some serious theatrical promise. Caroling12/30/2015 A Christmas Carol was the first play I ever saw. As a little girl, Jacob Marley terrified me so much that I had to cover my eyes and sleep with the lights on. I, also, secretly wished to be one of the little girls that got to dance in the aisle at intermission. Although I never got to dance in the aisles of Capitol Civic Center in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, several years later I finally got a crack at "The Carol." It was at the Historic Pabst Theatre as an Intern at The Milwaukee Repertory Theatre. I played Martha Crachit (who in that year's production staged a pagent with her Crachit siblings!) and played my cello in the lobby before and after the show with a fellow intern. Yesterday, a dozen years after my first Christmas Carol, we closed the run of A Christmas Carol at the Alley Theatre. In doing so, I can't help but reflect on the many incarnations of this story that I have gotten to help tell - seven total. It has been a theatrical thread that has woven its way through my life and has brought with it so many amazing friendships and incredible memories. After all this time, I am still moved by this story of redemption and I still gasp the first time I see Marley appear. Happy Closing!
