Jane Austen's Emma

Jane Austen's classic novel comes to vibrant life on the stage in this new adaptation by local playwright Matthew Windham. Directed by FlagShakes fan favorite James Cougar Canfield, this new production promises laughs, wit, and heart.

Smart, spirited, and delightfully self assured, Emma Woodhouse has a passion for matchmaking— but not always the best instincts. Jane Austen’s beloved comedy of manners sparkles with wit as Emma’s good intentions tangle into romantic chaos. Under the direction of FlagShakes fan favorite James Cougar Canfield, this new production of Emma brings Austen’s timeless humor to life, balancing Regency grace with a modern sensibility that reminds us why stories like Clueless still echo her brilliance today. Filled with flirtation, folly, and the unmistakable thrill of first love, Emma is a charming romp through the perils of pride and the triumphs of the heart. Witty. Romantic. Irresistibly relatable—200 years later.
