Episode 194 — Exploring Emily
Welcome back to The Conner & Smith Show!
This week, we step inside the world of Emily Dickinson as we begin shaping our newest theatrical project — and prepare for our upcoming presentation at the Arts Club of Washington.
Exploring Emily is our first public glimpse into a piece that has been quietly evolving behind the scenes, and in this episode, we pull back the curtain on how it’s all coming together.
We talk about:
• 🎭 How we’re structuring the show using only Dickinson’s poetry and letters
• 🧠 The creative challenges of turning her inner life into theatrical storytelling
• ✍️ What we’ve discovered about Emily as both a writer and a character
• 🎶 How music, movement, and text are beginning to intersect in the piece
• 🤝 And some exciting (and very fun) crowdsourcing ideas we’re exploring to help shape the project moving forward
This is a foundational episode — part behind-the-scenes, part creative brainstorm, and part invitation to join us in the process.
If you love new musical development, poetic storytelling, and getting in on the ground floor of something in the making — this episode is for you.
