Notes

REFERRALS “I invited Di into my Theatre Company, not only because I was excited by her Performing abilities ( She is a terrific Actress with a Strong Operatic Voice), but also because of her self devising and writing background.During our time together , Di enlivened every project with her hugely lateral imaginative leaps and powerhouse imagination. I have seen Di create some remarkable roles and she has an outstanding ability in creating varied and different characters” BAZ LURHMANN “I have had the pleasure of working with Di Emry on over two productions , and I can highly recommend her as a performer and singer of outstanding abilities”. MICHAEL KANTOR REVIEWS “DIANA HAS TRUE COMIC GENIUS .She was an opera singer in another life, was in Strictly Ballroom and in shows with Max Gillies and Eddy Perfect” Rhonda Dredge | 19th April, 2023. southbank local news.com.au . “A TOUR DE FORCE WITH MASSIVE ENERGY, MS EMRY BRINGS US A WHACKY AND WILD FRINGE SHOW”.
