Emily Bosco is a Colombian-Italian actor, singer, and big-hearted lady. A New Jersey native who was exposed to New York theater early and often, she spent much of her childhood standing in front of the TV to block it and forcing her family to listen to her sing Les Mis at the top of her lungs instead. The first swear word she was ever allowed to say (sing) was the “ass” at the end of Master of the House.
After a semi-world-famous turn as the Baker’s Wife in her high school’s Into the Woods (about which her mom raved “you were the best one”), she attended Boston University and performed in plays and musicals there. Throughout college and young adulthood, she had a myriad of vocal health issues - from which she thankfully recovered with the help of two procedures and several dedicated speech therapists. After losing her voice for so long, she vowed never to take it for granted again, and to use it to tell stories that mattered to her. She auditioned for graduate schools that winter, earned her MFA in Acting from UNC Chapel Hill in 2020, and has been performing around the country ever since! She has a particular love for Jane Austen, period pieces, and farce.
When she isn’t acting, Emily devotes her time to being the world’s best Auntie to her nieces and nephews, sour gummy worms, her family’s dogs, long runs, progressive politics, and the podcast subgenre “best friends chatting.” She owes absolutely everything to her beautiful family, both biological and chosen. In particular, she has her grandfather Philip to thank for giving her the acting bug, and showing her by example what endless love for one’s craft and one’s life looks like.
