A Little Bit About Me:
Amanda is a freelance costume designer for theatre, film, and television based in New York City and a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. She is incredibly passionate about clothing and history and loves nothing more than to spend her days surrounded by both.
She has designed for Gideon Productions (including all three of Mac Rogers' critically acclaimed Honeycomb Trilogy: the NYIT Award-winning Advance Man, Blast Radius, and Sovereign), Keen Company, Vital Theater Company (including the Off-Broadway Alliance Award-winning Stinky Kids the Musical), Epic Theatre Ensemble, EBE Ensemble, Ground UP Productions, The Attic Theater Company, iTheatrics, Stella Adler Studios, Atlantic Theater Company Acting School, Gold No Trade, Columbia University's Graduate Film Department, TV's History Channel, Happy Feet Productions, and others. As assistant costume designer, her work has been seen on the stages of Soho Rep, the New Group, Playwrights Horizons, Atlantic Theater Company, Keen Company, The Mint, Women's Project, Ma-Yi, Opera House Arts, Pascal Productions, and Philadelphia Theater Company.
Her work can soon be seen at the Secret Theater with Mac Rogers' new play, Frankenstein Upstairs, directed by Jordana Williams for Gideon Productions, at Theater Row for Epic Theatre Ensemble's Shakespeare Remix: Henry VI with students from the Bronx High School for Writing and Communication Arts, and at the Gene Frankel with Ground UP's Rubber Ducks and Sunsets.
Amanda is also excited to announce that Vital's Show Way, based on the Newbery Honor-winning book, has been nominated for an Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best Family Show.
