Emma Supica (she/her) is a Nashville-based speaker, educator, nonprofit leader, and performer whose work sits at the intersection of play, learning, and human connection. As the founding Executive Director of Unscripted, a nonprofit using improv to heal, empower, and connect communities, she brings nearly 20 years of experience in classrooms and communities, from her early days teaching music in public schools to leading trainings for Amazon teams, U.S. Army brigades, and healthcare tech organizations. Her work helps people embrace uncertainty, build resilience through joy, and communicate with authenticity.
Her most most well known theater production, East Nashville Facebook Page: The Musical, sells out during Tomato Art Fest each year, and she remains an active performer in Cherry Bomb: An Improvised Musical and other various original theatrical work across Nashville. Emma's research with Vanderbilt University, published in the Journal of the Learning Sciences, explores how groups learn through attunement and play, and her program design for Improv for Older Adults earned a "Salute to Excellence" award from the Center for Nonprofit Management. She holds a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Kansas and an M.Ed. in Nonprofit Leadership from Belmont University. Emma has a particular gift for taking complicated ideas and making them feel straightforward, accessible, and even a little fun. She is available for keynote speaking, panel moderation, and collaborative content development. She is warm, genuinely present, and by all accounts: fun.
