HELLO!
My name is Emily Strassheim (she/her/hers). I am a singer, actor, dancer, and musician born and raised in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. I grew up walking to my neighbor's house for piano lessons. It wasn't until I was ten years old when I saw a high school production of Fiddler on the Roof that made me fall in love with the idea of being on stage instead of behind the piano. I made my theatrical debut as Little Orphan Annie at a community theatre and never looked back!
​
I received my BFA in Musical Theatre with a minor in Performing Arts Management from The Hartt School in May 2022. When I am not onstage, you can find me reading a book, drinking an overpriced coffee, or sitting at the piano channeling my inner Carole King.
I love
color guard!
After falling in love with color guard in high school, I am so excited to be back on the field as Director of the Point Pleasant Borough High School Color Guard! I spent my summer choreographing and teaching my team a half-time show, and now we are spending the fall competing across the state.
educating the next generation
Come make music with me! You can find me as an instructor at Clarizio Music Center. I teach voice and piano lessons to kids of all ages. I have always loved passing on my love of music to kids, so this is the most rewarding job!
