Emily Bergl is in rehearsals for the Roundabout Theater Company's Broadway production of The Lion in Winter opposite Laurence Fishburne and Stockard Channing. The revival of the 1966 Broadway production features Bergl in the role of Alais Capet, a young French princess who is mistress to Fishburne's King Henry II. Previews of the play are scheduled to begin February 10th with a March 11th opening.

Originally born in England, Bergl mainly grew up around the Chicago area. Her education includes a Phi Beta Kappa BA from Grinnell College in Theater and English, as well as training at the Eugene O'Neill Center's National Theater Institute. Her professional career began just a few months after graduating from college when she was cast as an understudy in the Lincoln Center Theater's production of Ah, Wilderness! Bergl's most recent stage appearance was as Juliet in the Old Globe Theater's production of Romeo and Juliet, a performance which the Los Angeles Times called masterful.
