Emily Gibson
Her love for performing and theatre started at a young age which has given her a passion, not just for theatre, but for working with the youth in theatre. Her love of this work has also been inspired by the magic that goes into it. From lighting, scenic, props, costumes and the entirety of putting up a show that creates the ability for an audience to get lost in the adventures is something that is utterly inexplicable and addictive to Emily. Although being onstage is where she wants to be, she enjoys a variety of technical theatre aspects as well. She has been a professional props master and scenic paint charge for the past couple of years. She also dabbled in scenic and costume design. She is excited to now move onto another part of theatre as day manager of the Palace. She loves the Palace Theatre and the experiences she has had here over the years. She looks forward to helping bring the magic of theatre to the community of Pocatello and Chubbuck.
