She also spent last year as a vocalist in their “Rivertown Ramblers” show. Currently,
Emily performs at the Clay Cooper Theatre in Hot Rods & High Heels, Clay Cooper’s Country Express, and occasionally in Dean Z: The Ultimate Elvis. This is her second year calling the Clay Cooper Theatre home, and she has cherished every moment of sharing the stage with such talented performers.
