Emily Holland is a Chicago-based actor, but was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin! Go Pack Go!

 

By the age of six, Emily joined the Performers Workshop in DePere, WI where she participated in her first show ever, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Her love for theatre continued to grow when she entered middle school and was cast in her first role: Laurey in Oklahoma Jr. Since then, she has taken every chance that has come her way to be up on the stage.

​

At the age of 17, Emily was accepted into the BFA Musical Theatre and Dance minor program at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. She graduated in May of 2022, Summa Cum Laude.

​

Emily was cast in her first professional theatre gig at the age of 18 in Baileys Harbor, WI, as part of the Door Shakespeare acting troupe.

​

In September 2023, Emily opened her first Chicago show since moving to the city, American Psycho: the Musical with Kokandy Production. In March of 2024, the production won 4 Jeff Awards, including Best Musical. Since then, she has done 8 shows in Chicago, with the 9th on the horizon. What a journey it has been!

​

When not on the stage, you can find Emily listening to true crime podcasts, watching Rupaul's Drag Race, experimenting with cooking and hanging out with her kitties, Kiwi and Hattie. 

 

Emily released her debut album, healed, in November 2020, and continues to explore her love of songwriting.​
