Amy’s first foray into the world of acting was on stage. She’s played various versatile roles throughout the years, such as Sally Bowles in "Cabaret" and in her youth – Smitty in “How to Succeed” and Dorothy in “Thoroughly Modern Millie. At Mount Holyoke college, she found her love of Shakespeare and playwriting, where she wrote and mounted a staged reading of “The Fairest One” a queer Snow White musical (more info here), in addition to acting in numerous plays. She’s studied at The Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin, and post-grad she’s attended Atlantic Acting School’s conservatory in New York. Her most recent role, she performed as “Blossom”, in Who Murdered Love by Lissa Moira at Theatre for the New City showcased her high-soprano abilities, and her whimsical yet strong-willed performance qualities.
Her current project she is writing is about Shakespeare–as if she were a queer woman cross-dressing as a man to find success in the theatrical Elizabethan World. It’s a thrilling and daunting task, of both dramaturgical research and creative problem solving that she is excited to dig deeper with time. At the moment, Amy is in search of residencies that will help give her the time and devotion that this project needs to be completed.
