When Two of Us
Meet
An Armenian-American musical inspired by Emily’s ancestors’ emigration to America in the early 20th century.
“A Broadway-Worthy
Stage Production’
When Two of Us Meet follows an Armenian family’s journey from their homeland to America in the early 20th century.
The two-act musical was awarded the Laurel Karabian Fund for the Arts Grant from the Armenian International Women’s Association and received a concert reading in New York City in Spring 2025. That same season, the Embassy of Armenia partnered with Emily to host a private concert presentation in Washington, D.C.
The musical was also named a top 12 finalist for the 2025 Florida Festival of New Musicals and a top 10 finalist for the 2025 Colorado New Musical Project. A staged presentation is scheduled at PenArts theatre in Florida in July 2026.
