Amanda Brown

Amanda Brown has always been drawn to the stage - for good, bad, and hopefully not too ugly reasons. From her early years she has been involved in acting, dancing, piano performance, and singing (both solo and choral). She received her Master of Arts from Kings College London and The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, England. Following her time in London, she flew back across the pond to marry her prince charming and they are living happily ever after. Industry Tidbits Include: Principal role in The Wolf of Snow Hollow.
