In this Artist Exploration, Emma Flynn, an MTCA Alum and Glinda in Wicked chats with MTCA Director Charlie Murphy about:

• Be yourself, trust your type, and bring your whole person into the room
• Grieve the setbacks, then release what you can’t control
• A "bad" audition story that will become her broadway debut!
• No school is perfect, but the one you choose becomes yours through the work, the mindset, and the investment you bring
