Emma Majure

Drama

Hello! 👋🏻 I’m Mrs. Majure (muh-sjur); I’ve been performing on stage myself for over 25 years and involved in the film industry, both in front of and behind the camera, for the past 11 years. I have a BFA from Louisiana College where I majored in Theatre Arts and studied directly under my agent at the time; I also have dual minors in Psychology & Vocal Performance. My goal is to introduce students to the wonderful world of theatre/film, create a safe and welcoming environment for ALL students, pique interests, help them find confidence in themselves and their performing abilities, open doors, and share opportunities they may not otherwise know about. Stay tuned, because the FRMS Drama Department has BIG PLANS and we are going places.
