Amanda Grillo is a proud Connecticut native that currently attends University of New Haven as a Theatre major. She has been active in theatre since the sixth grade. Over the years, Amanda has participated in several different aspects of theatre from performance to tech (sometimes both in the same show). Because of this, she given herself the classification of a “techtor” (combination of a techie and actor). Outside of university productions, Amanda is active in the West Haven Council on the Arts in their Theatre West productions.
Whether it be a physical warm up, group bonding, or prayer, everyone has something they do to center themselves and get 'in the zone' before a performance.
This week I had the pleasure of discussing the progress of The Comedy of Errors as well as the progress of our Summer Youth Theatre production of Les Miserables School Edition, with West Haven Council on the Arts President, Barth McNeil.
Diving into week three of rehearsals with a bang! Between running lines and research to rehearsals with the whole cast, I discover new things about Luciana every single time.
