Amanda Snarski

Bob Falkenstein Season 3 Episode 71

Amanda Snarski joined Summer Stage as an apprentice in 1995 and proudly performed in several "T-shirt shows" (among others) until 2001.  Amanda participated in Mainstage, One Acts, Cabaret, Dance Troupe, and Shooting Stars and worked as a staff member in the box office from 2000-2003. She enthusiastically remembers her Summer Stage days, but somehow she forgets to mention that she played Wendy in a non-flying production of Peter Pan.  She attended Wagner College in Staten Island. In 2014, Amanda re-joined the staff as an assistant director for Mainstage, coordinator for Director's Workshop, and eventually directed for Children's Theater in 2016.  With nearly 20 years of experience as a teaching artist in the Philadelphia area, she now resides in Lancaster County where she continues to pursue her passion for theatre education at the Fulton Theatre.

I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .

You must have the latest version of the Google Chrome browser on your desktop or laptop computer. I can now record interviews with guests who have iPads or iPhones. It helps if you have an external microphone and headphones, but Apple earbuds work too; however, BlueTooth ones are not 100% reliable, so see if you can borrow wired ones.
