Amanda Tudor

The Girl Next Door Who Packs a Punch

Meet Amanda

I'm a classically trained AEA actor.  I've got an itch for adventure (running with the bulls in Spain, hanging off the CN Tower, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, a goal to run a race in all 50 states, trapeze lessons, a passion of history (especially Teddy Roosevelt and The Civil War era) which I get to exercise working as a tour guide up and down the East Coast, a taste for fine bourbon, and a love of the Bard.

Amanda's Story

Bio

About Amanda

White Water Rafting Moose River Adirondacks, NY
NYC Half Marathon
​

I grew up in Kentucky running amok amongst the bluegrass, playing soccer and baseball on all-boy teams. However, at age 10, when my thick accent was no longer cute, my family moved my younger brother and I to the frozen north: Kalamazoo, Michigan. I first attempted making friends in the “tundra” by auditioning for the HS production of “Cinderella.” I fell in love.

​

While sports and academics remained important to me as an overachieving nerd and sports fan, I started focusing on theatre: I got involved with forensics, speech and debate competitions, receiving perfect scores at several competitions and competing at the state level. I started performing at community theatres in the area. As a senior in high school, I had the opportunity to forgo my normal high school experience to attend Interlochen Arts Academy. I chose to go for it.

​

After a year of focusing on theatre and intense academics, I decided to study history and theatre performance in college, the world was my oyster as far as acceptance letters went. I chose The Hartt School in Connecticut. I tobogganed my way out of the tundra to the foreign eastern coast. My world opened up further with a study abroad program in England and lots of traveling in that semester throughout Europe; I prolonged the study abroad with a summer job managing a venue at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. When I returned my senior year I was invited by Hartford Stage and Michael Wilson to join the casts of “A Christmas Carol” and “The Milktrain Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore” starring Olympia Dukakis. So my professional life in the theatre was off.

With a launch via Hartford Stage into my career, I quickly moved to New York and just as quickly packed back up to join the Shakespeare Theatre in DC for a year long internship.

​

Now I remain the perpetual student; I continue to study theatre and history while also continuing my athletic inclinations running competitively for charity. I started new endeavors such as exploring a career in stunts, studying with Bob Cotter at Hollywood Stunts. I went to the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg and ran with the bulls in Spain, climbed volcanoes in Italy, worked with elephants in Thailand and went white water rafting upstate NY. I hiked the 26 miles to Machu Picchu. I picked up the ukulele and the trumpet again after 10 years just to keep things interesting. My life continues to get interesting.

​

Of course none of this could be done without the extreme support of my parents and brother, amazing husband and son, friends and teachers from all corners of the world and improbable places, and people who took a chance and believed in a bluegrass girl.

Reviews

"…The servants Giulio and Simonetta are fetchingly done by Curtis Billings and Amanda Tudor."–Susan Hood,
“Hartford Courant.”

​

“…Curtis Billlings and Amanda Tudor do well as Italian servants who [express] that in the face of death, life and love go on.”–Frank Rizzo, “Variety.”

“

“…Jason Loughlin and Amanda Tudor as Ferdinand and Miranda, whose scenes together are earnest, sweet, and endearing”–Brad Lee Thompson, “NYtheatre.com,”

The Tempest

The Milktrain Doesn't Stop Here Anymore

"Amanda Tudor as Lisa is smart and perceptive, direct in her comments and passionate in her support."-Deb Miller, "DC Metro Theater Arts."

The Reckless Season

“The cast flits in and out of roles at breakneck comic speed. There are clear clown and commedia influences in this production and the cast ably performs some rocking '80s tunes to great effect [...] Twelve Nights has a strong script and a top-notch cast.  It's a lot of fun to be sure. “theatreiseasy.com,” Amanda LaPergia.

​

“Playing Olivia, among others, Amanda Tudor tackles spoiled brat head on.  Tudor naturally eases into the love triangle [...] Sean Graney's Twelve Nights, a jam packed, high energy, four person retelling of gender-bending love and miscommunications all with an obsession for mixtapes [...] The foursome of actors do a great job at keeping the action moving and the comedy non-stop. “theatreinthenow.com,” Michael Block. 

“

"Tudor’s Ellen never misses a beat, topping it off with a final monologue that will leave audiences breathless."-Melissa Lin Sturges, "Washington City Paper."

"When Tudor as Ellen lets down her mask and reveals her truth, it’s chilling."

-Patrick Folliard, "Washington Blade."

“…I cannot write another word without saying the acting was INCREDIBLE (…) these extremely talented ladies chewed it up and turned it into something powerfully relatable. Tudor plays Brutus with a quiet intensity, who is so consumed by doing right by Rome and removing ambitious Caesar, she's blind to the fact her desires are actually driven by her own ambitions. As the play unfolds, her quiet intensity turns into a roaring lion whose own ambitions rage out of control”–Julie Feltman, “TheatreMania.com.”
