about me...
emma sophia rathe
actor, singer, artist
Hello! My name is Emma and I am from Waverly, Iowa. In a small farm town community, I grew up loving to perform. Whether it was singing in church, or acting at the community theatre-I loved every minute with support from my family. I grew up very close to family and friends, and loved all things outdoors even if I got sunburnt in the first five minutes! I may not have been in any sports in school, but I love water and snow skiing, wakeboarding, hiking, and exploring and traveling to new places.
​
After graduating high school in 2013, I moved to Springfield, Missouri to get a BFA in Musical Theatre at Missouri State University and graduated MSU in May of 2017.
​
​
I've kept busy during the summers by getting the Basic and Intermediate Stage Combat certification in Toronto, Canada through FDC at Rapier Wit; took a Shakespeare class in London through Florida State University; and performed at the Tent Theatre held on Missouri State's campus.
I then moved to Chicago performing in two one-woman cabarets I wrote. I also got to perform in Avenue Q as the Bad Idea Bear.
​
After taking a few Shakespeare and Chekhov classes in Chicago, I wanted more training so now I live in New York City and am an Acting MFA candidate at The New School.
