    About Emily

    "Emily Yancey’s performance convinces me that our theater community has rather underrated and underused her.  

    She is remarkable... She sings like an angel and is achingly funny."


    - Anthony Chase, The Buffalo News

    A GENTLEMAN'S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER Review

    - Anthony Higgins, Buffalo Rising
