In life, she wears many hats: Author, Playwright, Performer, Copywriter, Choreographer, Cat-Mom, but the one she loves wearing most is her Director hat. Stories can be told through multiple mediums, but telling one on the stage brings a whole new spark to the journey. Her favorite directorial credits include Five Women Wearing the Same Dress (City Gate Productions), The Addams Family (Maggie’s Little Theatre), The Wedding Singer (RST), and Hairspray (Sewanhaka High School). All Shook Up is a story about love, acceptance, and following your dreams. She thanks her family and friends for always believing in her and her dreams. She hopes this show will spark the dream you have inside of you, and encourage you to follow it. www.amandamontoni.com
