ABOUT ME
“I want to make theatre that challenges the senses and transforms the world around us… Theatre that is visceral and gets to the core of the feeling rather than hiding behind the intellectualization of it.”
Amanda is a well-rounded classically trained actor, director, and writer from New York City, heavily influenced by her family’s origins in Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad & Tobago. She began her training in the drama department at Fiorello H. LaGuardia (Class of 22’) and most recently received a B.F.A in Theatre Arts from Boston University (Class of 26’) with a concentration in Acting, Movement, and Playwrighting. Additionally, she studied abroad in London to deepen her understanding of new play development.
Amanda is passionate about the intersection of different artistic mediums in theatre, particularly visual art, sculpture, music, dance, and poetry.

LIFE LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT
By Amanda Esmie Reynolds / Chloe McFarlane
Pic Cred: Sydney Lawrence
In this modern poetic adaptation of Waiting for Godot, Joy (17) and Meka (17) are two bright black scholars in the pursuit of a life altering scholarship that would allow them to build their legacy at prestigious universities. Hungry, striving, and relentless, they tap dance around each other’s frustrations in an attempt to hold onto their dream long enough to survive this eternity in waiting.
