Raising Emma was my first attempt at writing a stage play. It was honestly one of the greatest learning experiences of my life. We started writing it when I was 17 and it hit the stage when I was 18. Before Emma, the only real time I had spent on the stage was with Perfect Generation. I'll be the first to admit that the first run through had a lot of mistakes, but hey - can you blame a kid for trying.
I sang the song, "Gossip" on stage and on the Soundtrack.
Brief Synopsis:
At the beginning of Raising Emma, the audience learns that Emma is a little girl who lost her father as the result of a farming accident. Emma's father, Ed, is now in heaven trying to learn how to be a guardian angel. Though he is sincere, it is painfully obvious to others that Ed is not the most talented "angel". He does, however, have more success in helping his widow and his daughter from afar. Several years pass and despite Ed's greatest efforts, the clouds surrounding Emma continue to darken. Emma's mother is killed in a highway accident. She is killed while driving on Christmas Eve. Mortified that somehow he has caused the loss of Emma's last surviving parent, Harry commits his life to raising his niece. Raising Emma traces the steps of Emma's life as she faces her hardships with courage and faith -- and a little help from afar.
