Twin City Players Presents
Emma
February 20 – March 8, 2026
Twin City Players presents the 4th production of its 2025-2026 93rdMainstage Season, the unconventional delight, Emma by Kate Hamill, based on the novel by Jane Austen.
Emma Woodhouse is clever, educated, and energetic… and in imminent danger of going mad with idleness. In a time when respectable ladies are expected to sit quietly at home, she desperately needs projects. Ever the romantic, Emma prides herself on being the best matchmaker in town. But love has its own agenda with plenty of screwball comedy and twists and turns in store – including a few for Emma herself. A fresh feminist take on a treasured classic, that breaks down convention, expectation, and even the fourth wall with vibrant comic flair.
