@ 4001 N Ravenswood Ave, Ste 405 (The Right Brain Project Theater)
AMANDA CARSON
Amanda played Scheherazade in the world premier of A Thousand Times Goodnight, with Theater RED in Milwaukee. I still remember when she walked out of auditions, and I said to producer Christopher Elst: “Scheherazade just walked out of this theater.” Luckily she accepted the role, or I would have looked pretty stupid. Amanda’s a rare combo of talented and sincerely friendly and almost bizarrely humble. I was soops lucky to work with her.
This Saturday, Amanda is reading the Duchess Penti Celia. The monarch of Amosa, Penti Celia exercises the decree (ie plot device) that sets the wastrel knights Anu and Grendela against each other. While every other character is pranking or lusting (or both), Celia alone has to carry the heavy burden of an impending doom that means to test the honor of her word.
“How greater is the Likeness of a War
Against the Act itself.” (Act I, Scene 2)
