Hello! I'm Emma Engelsen, I'm 24 and I am currently based in Massachusetts!
I am an empathetic and bubbly actor, content creator, and storyteller with extensive experience in studio television, theater, and film. As a multi-faceted creator and proud member of the Ladies of Comedy Association, I thrive on collaborating with fellow creatives, advocating for mental health, and spreading joy through humor.
I grew up on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. I was a dramatic, sensitive and full of life as a kid. Crying on cue was a specialty!
I discovered a strong love for entertaining others at a young age: memorizing lines, teaching myself dances and almost breaking the VCR rewatching my favorite movies. Humor came naturally to me, and I quickly became well-known for my comedic talents.
Deep down, I always knew I was meant to be in the arts, but I did not fully immerses myself In theatre until senior year of high school. Once I began my journey, I knew I found my calling!
I graduated from my dream school, Emerson College, in 2023 with a BA in Media Arts Production and a minor in Comedy Writing and Performance! I have held numerous production positions, both behind and in front of the camera, as well in control rooms, development, casting, social media, comedic performance and management.
For my Fall 2022 semester, I attended Emerson's competitive program in Los Angeles, where I was a casting intern at "The Price Is Right."
Since graduating from college, I have been active in the theatre community, working at The Cape Playhouse, Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre and acting in local productions.
I made my professional stage debut in "Reefer Madness: The Musical" at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theatre in July 2024! I recently wrapped up performing in the world premiere of the original play, "Poshington Manor" by Maxie Davidson with Improv Cape Cod.
When I'm not acting, I enjoy playing with dogs, attending local shows, collaborating with friends on independent projects, drinking tea and continuing my journey of mental health recovery and healing. I have also recently taken up crocheting! Mental health advocacy is something I am very passionate about. I strive to break down stigmas surrounding mental health and build up new walls of advocacy, representation and strength.
I love to form warm, friendly connections with people wherever I go; I am dedicated to forming meaningful connections, fostering positive work environments, and breaking down mental health stigmas. My mission is to create authentic, relatable, and humor-driven content. I look forward to tackling new challenges and opportunities with confidence and precision.
