For people who have known her since she was a child, it may seem like Emma Jordan has been fated to live a life onstage. Growing up in her hometown of Dickson, she was acting on stages throughout Middle Tennessee, starring in shows at the Renaissance Center and appearing onstage at Chaffin’s Barn Dinner Theater. Now a senior at Ohio’s Wright State University in Dayton, where she’s studying musical theater, Emma has her sights set on graduation next spring and an acting career thereafter.
Most recently, she’s played Rona Lisa Peretti in “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” at Fairfield Summer Theatre and she was seen as Madeleine True in the Wright State production of “The Wild Party.”
