EMMA WALLACE
Actor - Singer - Dancer - Theatre Maker
HELLO!
I’m an Argentine-American actor, dancer, singer, songwriter, and choreographer, working between London, New York, and Austin, Texas.
Most recently, I played Cathy in a critically acclaimed production of The Last Five Years in Cardiff, marking my first collaboration with Wojta Productions and director Alice Eklund, and certainly not the last.
I made my London debut as Phoebe Larson in The Gardening Club, a new musical directed by Tara Noonan and produced by Nowhere Girls in association with ATG. The show sold out its run at the New Wimbledon Theatre Studio in September 2025 and returned for a one-night performance on the main stage, filling over 750 seats.
In 2024, I co-founded Dippy Egg Theatre and co-wrote Unlikely: In a Building with a Broken Lift, a horror-comedy of errors. The piece premiered at London’s Grim Festival in October 2025 and returned for a limited run at Barons Court Theatre in March 2026, with more life ahead of it.
My performance work also extends into cabaret. I made my New York debut at the historic Laurie Beechman Theatre in October 2025 and later created and hosted my own show, Home for the Y’allidays, in Austin that December.
