Emily Skinner

Broadway actress Emily Skinner appeared on campus in 2016 to present a master class/performance on “Auditioning for Musical Theatre.” Emily Skinner has unequivocally established herself as one of Broadway's most engaging and versatile performers. In 2015, Emily had the honor of originating a role in Hal Prince’s new musical Prince of Broadway in Japan. She last appeared on Broadway starring in the acclaimed musical Billy Elliot. Emily was nominated for a Tony Award (along with Alice Ripley) and received a Drama League Award for her performance as Daisy Hilton in the brilliant but short-lived Side Show. Other original Broadway cast credits include Jekyll & Hyde, James Joyce's The Dead, and The Full Monty. In addition to the DSU performing arts students, in attendance were musical theatre students from the other universities in the Lehigh Valley Association of Independent Colleges consortium as well as the Charter High School for the Performing Arts.
