NBM MAGAZINE: “The Show Must Go On”

“Emilia Torello’s love affair with the theater began as a 3-year-old girl toddling up the steps of Thalian Hall. That Downtown Wilmington stage is where the actress experienced multiple professional and personal milestones, from starring as Annie in Annie and playing Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird the following year to rites of passage like having her first real kiss — and her first real breakup backstage. Most meaningfully, the Thalian Hall stage is where Torello was swept off her feet by her late fiancé, Paul Teal, during a 2022 production of Newsies.”
