Girl Crime

Boston Center for the Arts | January 2026

In January 2026, Emma directed the sold out world-premiere workshop production of Girl Crime, a new play written by award winning Chicago playwright (and best friend<3), Kendall Grenolds, at the Boston Center for the Arts, presented by the Dining Table Collective.

A dark comedy about the glittery horror of true crime culture, Girl Crime follows two best friends and co-hosts of a hit podcast that packages murder as quirky, relatable content for the girlies. As the line between ambition and exploitation blurs, this play examines the American obsession with violence, the commodification of trauma, and who has the right to tell a story.
