Bio Amanda is a versatile musical theatre and film actress active throughout the New England area. Most recently she traveled to Scotland for the 2018 Edinburgh Festival Fringe as Kate in See Rock City & Other Destinations and also reprised Natalie Goodman in Next to Normal for Boston Theater Dance company. She also just finished Delta Nu Nu Nu-ing as Elle Woods in The Footlight Club's November 2019 production of Legally Blonde: the Musical. Amanda is often seen bringing musical theatre concert productions to the MIT campus as a part of MIT's Artists Beyond the Desk Organization, emphasizing the importance of the Arts among the STEM fields. Her last performance was as Woman 1 in Songs for a New World for this series. Amanda spent nearly two years in the role of Wendla Bergman in Spring Awakening, which earned eight Eastern Massachusetts ACT State Festival Competition awards including Best Ensemble and Best Production. The production then moved to the 2015 New England Regional Festival, where the cast and crew again took home the Best Ensemble award and placed Runner-Up for Best New England Regional Production. No stranger to playing roles multiple times, she has also reprised the roles of Catherine Hiatt in The Last Five Years, Jo March in Little Women: the Musical, Natalie Goodman in Next to Normal, and Lily St. Regis in Annie. Amanda has performed in nearly 40 productions since 2010, and was named one of Pulse Magazine's 13 People to Watch in 2013. Other favorite roles include Louise in Gypsy, Claire in Ordinary Days, Florinda in Into the Woods, and Madeleine Astor in Titanic: the Musical at the Woodland Theatre Company, which earned six 2015 ArtsImpulse Award nominations including Best Musical and Best Ensemble. She performs regularly with local cabarets, and received a 2015 ArtsImpulse Award nomination for Best Solo or Cabaret Performance for the Sing Out! cabaret series at Club Cafe in Boston. She is also regularly involved in CrossFit as a Level 1 Trainer, Spartan Races, character performing for various events, sketch art, fit modeling, and running lots of sound boards. In 2014 she won an EMACT Festival award for Best Sound Design for her backing tracks in Spring Awakening, and there is little she enjoys more than getting to listen to other vocalists for extended periods of time. Amanda graduated from Tufts University with a BS in Chemical Engineering and Mathematics, and in 2014 earned her Masters in Statistics from Harvard University. She works for MIT by day, while at night dabbles in all things music and theatre. |
