Exclusive Interview: Emily Harbert of Pontiac Theatre IV's 'The Girl on the Train'

Paula Hawkins’ The Girl on the Train, was one of those novels that strapped readers in and refused to let them go until the final pages. It's one of those gripping psychological thrillers that pulls you into a world of memory, obsession, and deception; a story where you're never quite sure what's real or not. It's intense, twisty, and wild in the best way possible, which honestly makes it perfect for a stage adaptation. Pontiac Theatre IV recently brought The Girl on the Train to their stage, and we had the pleasure of speaking with the director of this production, Emily Harbert! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Harbert discusses why she loves The Girl on the Train so much and what drew her to wanting to direct this production. Having almost directed this play at another theater, she explores how it changed and grew when she brought it to Pontiac Theatre IV. From a talented cast that embodies these characters with enthusiasm and professionalism, Harbert explores both the excitement of finally bringing this story to the public and the challenges of doing so.
