...has been called “hilariously self-loathing”, “gifted at creating comedy from pain and embarrassment” and “the voice for all of us who were picked last for kickball”. A lifelong fan of educational and issue-oriented theatre, she spent years acting at science museums and living history centers and in touring plays about deforestation, natural resources and sexual abuse before taking the plunge and creating original work around the issues closest to her – body image, outsiderhood, discrimination and bullying, the search for self-worth. Her three one-woman comedies -- “Does This Monologue Make Me Look Fat?” (2003), "So Kiss Me Already, Herschel Gertz!” (2005) and “Circumference” (2006-7) -- all began their lives in the Minnesota Fringe Festival, and have gone on to tour to Fringes, solo festivals, theatres, colleges, organizations and events in the US, Canada and beyond. Their cumulative stops have included the UNO Festival in Victoria, BC; Oh Solo Mio in London, ON; Cape May Stage’s Flying Solo Series; Open Stage Theatre in Harrisburg, PA; Six Figure Theatre’s Artists of Tomorrow series in NYC; Fresno’s Rogue Festival; the Baltimore Creative Alliance; the Columbus GLBT Theatre Festival (“Best Script” and “Best Solo Show”); the International TeatroNetto Festival of Solo Performance in Jaffa, Israel; the Manhattan JCC; and the Fringes in Thunder Bay, Halifax (Best of Venue), Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Orlando, Cincinnati (Critic’s Pick),Victoria, Vancouver (Pick of the Fringe), the Berkshires, and Winnipeg (Best of Fest). Amy has also been a substitute theatre instructor and guest playwright for Interact Center for the Arts, where she helped create “The Broken Brain Summit” and “Future Perfect: A Genetically Modified Musical”. She’s a member of the hit narrative collective Rockstar Storytellers, and contributes her voice and words to MPR’s “In the Loop”, and CBC Radio’s “Definitely Not The Opera”. If you’re a physician-in-training, you might know Amy from her acting work within the U of MN Med School where she portrays “Woman With Migraine”, “Pregnant Woman Who Smokes And Drinks”, and “Woman About To Give Birth”.
