Emma

Musical Comedy / This modern musical adaptation lifts Jane Austens comedy of manners out of Regency England and sets it down in contemporary Connecticut. Emma, a graduate student at Highbury College, embarks on a personal mission to set up a lonely gay student named Harry with a suitable boyfriend. She sets her sights on school a cappella star Trevor, but her plan is soon complicated by the return of an old rival and a visit from a British film star. Emma's mentor/advisor, Dr. Knight, and her old friend, Miss Bates, join the fracas -- and the rural college soon teems with missed connections. A delightful and deeply felt spin on the original. Music and Vocal Score available for a separate fee. ( 4 f, 5 m, 3 either ~ 12-30 actors 4-17 f, 5-18 m)
