Emily Rose
Olsson
Theatre Performer and Educator
Emily is from the small coastal town Vero Beach, Florida. She decided to leave the beautiful beaches and warm weather of Florida for the cold winters in Muncie, Indiana. She just recently graduated with her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Acting from Ball State University on May 3rd, 2025.
One of the most important parts of making and creating art for her is allowing all to be included and celebrated. She is a strong advocate for inclusivity within theatre, specifically for those with disabilities. During her time at Ball State, she completed a minor in American Sign Language. She hopes to use this minor in theatre spaces to communicate and work with students. From peer to peer academic assistance to weekend performance creating; nothing makes her happier than getting to spend time and create art with students who typically aren’t granted that opportunity.
