Amanda England has been a life-long fan of theatre. Some of her earliest memories include watching her father hang lights at a community theatre and singing show tunes while her mother worked as a high school theatre director. As a teen, Amanda performed in several school shows but found her most joyful moments as an audience member. She has a particular fondness for musicals and any experiences that allow her to interact with cast & crew. Amanda grew up in DFW and attended Plano Senior High School and UT Dallas, where she received her bachelor's and master's degrees. When she's not watching shows & collecting autographs at the stage door, Amanda serves children and their families as a Speech-Language Pathologist. Her other favorite activities include writing, crafting, hosting parties, and volunteering in her community.
