Hi there! I'm Amanda - an actor, singer, director, teacher, pianist, and mom. Truth be told, I also make an extraordinary apple pie... (Seriously. It's all about Grandma's pastry. We'll talk.)

​

I'm delighted to have booked two plays back-to-back (with some slight overlap!) at Bristol Valley Theatre in July and August. I'll be playing Halbrech in Jeffrey Hatcher's suspenseful "Scotland Road," and then I'll play Lucy in Laura King's rich and insightful "Cayuga Canal Girls."

I am so looking forward to the challenge!

​

I just emerged from a whirlwind semester of teaching voice and directing a delightful musical version of Jane Austen's Emma by Paul Gordon!

I also shot another wonderful short film last month and kept busy with acting classes. I just finished a class series with David Bellantoni, and

I am currently taking a series with Craig Holzberg. And next month, I'll work with the wonderful Jamibeth Margolis! 

​

In the last several months I shot two fantastic short films in NYC and NJ, in roles that stretched and enhanced my work. I am grateful!

​

I love to perform. I made my off-Broadway debut in February 2020 as Mrs. Patrick in A Man of No Importance with Bookworm Theatrics at the Alvin Ailey Theatre in Manhattan. In 2022, I filmed lead roles in a feature film, Through Eyes of Grace (releasing in 2023) and in two short films: Lambkin and Dear Hallmark. Earlier that year I appeared in two episodes of true-crime series for the ID Network: Evil Lives Here: Shadows of Death and On the Case with Paula Zahn. Some favorite stage roles include Marmee in Little Women at Bristol Valley Theater, Cathy in The Last Five Years with the Palmer Opera House, Guenevere in Camelot and Jess in The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) with Bookworm Theatrics, Amalia in She Loves Me and M’Lynn in Steel Magnolias with The Valley Theatre, and Cinderella in Into the Woods and Maria in The Sound of Music with The Town Theatre of Short Tract. 

​

I keep a busy schedule of acting, directing and teaching, and I am so thankful for each opportunity to create and collaborate with kind and talented humans!
