The Collective Theatre Company is heartbroken in mourning the loss of one of our greatest friends and collaborators, Emily Gladstein. Our hearts go out to her family and loved ones. Emily had a unique perspective on everything and was one of the warmest, supportive and hardworking people all of us have ever met. Her enthusiasm fueled whatever project she was working on.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Emily on board for Motherf$&?er With the Hat, Night of the Living Dead, Suburbia, ACME, Blackbird and our last two Fall Festivals. Whether it was stage managing the entire production, assistant stage managing, or just picking up a paint brush because she wanted to help out, the void that she fills in our hearts is immeasurable.
Emily pushed herself, and others around her to be better theatre makers, better artists, and better people. We are happy to know that her legacy will be remembered by the many that she worked with. Until we all meet again, Emily.
