Emma

A Regency comedy with a twist
May 29 – Jun 21, 2026

Written by Kate Hamill. Directed by Ro Gavin.

In this sparkling and mischievous reimagining of Jane Austen’s beloved classic, Emma Woodhouse is clever, charming, and perhaps a little too confident in her matchmaking abilities. Determined to orchestrate the romantic lives of everyone around her—while insisting she’ll never marry herself—Emma soon discovers that love has a habit of ignoring even the best-laid plans.

Playwright Kate Hamill infuses Austen’s world with razor-sharp humor, contemporary energy, and delicious theatricality, turning Emma into a fast-paced comedy of vanity, flirtation, and glorious social missteps.

New Hampshire Premiere.

“Crackles with energy and modern relevance.” — The New York Times
“A delightful blend of classic charm and contemporary wit.” — The Guardian
