About Emily

Emily Glinick has been a passionate theater maker for over two decades and holds a bachelor’s degree in theater from Bowdoin College. She began her career as a stage manager, first for regional theaters across the Northeast, then in New York City, working for off-Broadway institutions such as New York Theater Workshop, The Public and Lincoln Center Theater. Her favorite productions include the world premieres of Blood and Gifts by JT Rogers, and Lemon Andersen’s biographical, one-man show County of Kings — a world premiere produced by Spike Lee at The Public — with whom she eventually toured internationally to Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands and South Africa. Emily also spent nine summer seasons stage managing for Chautauqua Theater Company (CTC), for over a dozen productions and workshops. Most of her career as a stage manager has centered around new plays.

Emily took on the role of General Manager at CTC in 2022. She brought her extensive knowledge of the theater industry to the position, and the institutional knowledge of Chautauqua due to her long history with the company and having grown up visiting Chautauqua Institution during her summers as a child.

Emily was instrumental in developing the plans for the new Roe Green Theater Center, the state-of-the-art building that will eventually house new administrative offices, rehearsal studios, and a black box theater to realize CTC’s goal of becoming a national center for new plays. She has worked in partnership with CTC’s Producing Artistic Director Jade King Carroll to expand this new vision for the company and secure the resources necessary to achieve it.

Why did you choose to work at Chautauqua? What do you like about working at Chautauqua?

As a life-long Chautauquan, I am passionate about the Institution’s mission and values, and am excited to support that through my work with the theater company.
