Through Emma's Eyes-
The Team
Jenny McKinney is in awe that this show is being performed yet again. She ​is thrilled
to be focusing on producing it and have her dear friend, Jill Best, directing, with their
dear friend, Kimberly Jo Smith, as historical adviser. ​
​
Jill S Best has an extensive background of music, dance, and theatre, and was the
co-director/stage manager for the 2013 production in Nampa, Idaho. It is with great
joy that she will be directing future productions. ​Jill is a Master Transformational Coach
and an Energy Well-Being Practitioner in her private practice.
Kimberly Jo Smith is the 2nd-great-granddaughter of Joseph and Emma Smith. She
and her son, Bryan Davis, have spent years traveling the USA and parts of Canada and
Australia to tell the story of what happened to the rest of the family after Joseph was
martyred. It is their life's mission to share this truth, as well as their own stories, so that
their forefathers will be better understood and appreciated.
Kimberly Jo and Bryan became friends with Jenny and Jill when they attended the
2013 Nampa, Idaho production. They have made conscious efforts to support each
other's missions in telling the history of this courageous family. Kimberly Jo is an
historical advisor for the show.
