emily/BUBECK is a Queer, Catholic, Appalachian theatre practitioner and multi-disciplinary artists working out of Brooklyn. emily facilitates the development and consumption of new works by traditionally underrepresented artists. She is drawn to projects that allow us to expand our ideas on how we tell stories and who those stories serve.

As a freelance producer BUBECK brings her wealth of practical production knowledge, innate sense of scrappiness, and a holistic communitarian approach to the work. When it comes to arts administration emily is a true project manager at heart. She specializes in streamlining systems on the fly, and believes it her duty to ensure the systems we use to structure our work reflect our values as artists. As a director Bubeck thrives in long form developmental settings, working dramaturgically with playwrights to understand why they need to tell this story. She has a distinct passion for telling working class stories and engaging with masculinity through the narratives of women and other oppressed genders. emily has built quite a stage management CV since 2018 - turning to the craft whenever times are tight or the project is right. She has done it all, seen it all and troubleshot every step of the process. Creating theater is like catching lightning in a bottle and, as a stage manager, she is committed to creating a repeatable process and a safe space for artists to do their best work. BUBECK has three original pieces in development, my body is falling apart and i’m not sure what to do anymore, Don’t Let Me Walk Away and Women’s Work.)

emily’s ‘jack of all trades’ sensibility may not jive with modern conservatory based training methods, but BUBECK believes the breadth of her knowledge gives her the context she needs to properly facilitate the theater making process, as well as an ingrained sense of respect for the various artists, collaborators, hourly contractors and vendors that make this work possible. Her love for her community is reflected in her work, and she relishes the opportunity to tell stories - whether she is producing, performing or picking up the trash afterwards. BUBECK’s work has been described as D.I.Y., women-centric, layered, authentic and engaging: and her approach to the rehearsal room has been explained as “no bullshit with a big dose of kindness.”
