Welcome to the EmilyAnn Theatre! Announcements & Upcoming Events (click the links below for more information)
Thank you Eagle Scouts! Did you know that the EmilyAnn is now harvesting rainwater? Have you had a chance to come play in Justin's Castle? As you walk through the grounds of the EmilyAnn Theatre, you'll see the handiwork of many community groups who contribute to making the Emily Ann a beautiful and peaceful place. We are grateful to four Eagle Scouts who are making permanent contributions on our grounds. The first project, Justin's Castle, built by John Estepp in memory of Justin Rodriguez, provides an interactive play area for children. Michael Vela recently restored an old water cistern on the property so that (if it ever rains again) we can harvest rainwater to use on our gardens. This project is in memory of Cub Scout Joe Saunders. Two more projects are underway--Samuel Holberg is building a ticket booth for the theatre entrance and Blake Dwyer is building a new renaissance stage to replace the Puppet's Post in the Glade. Members of Michael Vela's Court of Honor commented on how rare it is to have four projects in one location! Congratulations to all four scouts. We're grateful to be the recipient of their wonderful work. Come by and see!

SUS has the potential of becoming one of the premiere high school summer theatre experiences in the U.S. From the beginning of my involvement, three short years ago, I was tasked with raising the quality of the experience for those participating. We have begun that task. This year, my good friend and colleague from UNLV, Clarence Gilyard, joined our ranks and provided a 3-day workshop for our participants. He has already asked to become more involved and has offered to return next summer and conduct a week-long workshop for the students. Through our combined efforts, we hope to provide top caliber guests who will conduct workshops in stage combat and in other design/technical areas. The goal is to offer an experience that will enrich the lives of the students and help to prepare them for their futures, whether those futures lie in theatre or in other endeavors. We have already made significant progress and look forward to the future growth of the SUS experience.  Clarence Gilyard with Shakespeare Under the Stars students.
