HEY, HI, HELLO!
“Emily Ann Banks is critically acclaimed for only being funny sometimes.”
WHO IS SHE?
Emily Ann Banks is a jack-of-all-trades theatre artist who resides in New York City. She strives to make weird, evocative theatre that refuses to behave.
Her work lives in the space between the familiar and the uncanny. She’s drawn to theatre that unsettles, that asks audiences to lean forward and sit with discomfort, to leave a performance changed by what they’ve witnessed.
She isn’t interested in safe theatre. She’s interested in theatre that shifts the room.
