BIOGRAPHY

Emma Cox (she/her) is a classically trained actor and recent graduate of Southern Utah University's BFA Classical Acting program. While at SUU, Emma also earned a BS in History. Born and raised in Kansas, and currently based out of Kansas City, Emma followed her love for acting across the Rockies to Cedar City, Utah in the Fall of 2022. While studying at SUU, Emma had the pleasure of performing in SUU’s mainstage productions of Julius Caesar as Brutus, directed by Britannia Howe, Cloud 9 as Maud/Victoria and Twelfth Night as Malvolio, both directed by Dr. Lisa Quoresimo, as well as SUU's mainstage rep production of Roe as Sarah Weddington, directed by Dr. Scott Knowles. Following graduation, Emma will move back to the Midwest to continue pursuing her artistic career. 

For Emma, acting is limitless—an exploration of the
human experience unlike any other. On stage, Emma strives to bridge connections between herself, her
characters, and individual audience members. These interconnections are why Emma became an actor—for the chance to fill a space with resounding laughter or deafening silence where the heartbeats of complete strangers can synchronize, and people are invited to step into a world entirely different from their own.
