The audience is invited into the life and times of Emily Dickinson in this inspiring biographical portrait based on the Poet’s letters, life stories and poems! Via “interactive bookends” Ms. Grace reaches out to the audience for words and ideas and weaves them into the fabric of the piece! Emily’s secrets combine with seismic creativity -- as her poems take shape in radical form -- shocking to the fashions of her time! This is an Emily of irrepressible delight, depth, intrigue and passion. With interactive elements at play, the Poet’s creativity is mixed with that of the audience, empowering the voice of everyone in the room!
