About AmeliaAmelia is the Production Stage Manager, Assistant Artistic Director, and Acting Coach at All-of-us Express Children's Theatre and a Teaching Artist with the Wharton Center for Performing Arts. She is a professional stage manager, director, teacher, makeup artist, and actor currently based in Lansing, Michigan. Amelia has worked in theaters across Michigan as well as in Ohio, Illinois, New York, and London, England. She has a background in Theatre, Education, Business, and Arts and Cultural Management.
Amelia grew up in a theatre that pushes youth to study both the backstage magic as well as shine onstage and started out her theatre career by studying and heavily pursuing acting. She stage managed her first show in 2015 and fell in love with the fast-paced, problem solving position. As she continued to stage manage shows, she soon found herself backstage more often than onstage and decided to make the switch. Shortly after becoming an Assistant Artistic Director, she made stage management officially a part of her job and consistently teaches interested youth as ASMs for each show. As a part of her belief to never stop learning or advancing your craft, Amelia is currently pursuing more knowledge and hands on experience dealing with lighting and sound design. When she finds free time, Amelia spends it developing educational programs, designing workshops for Girl Scout Troupes, and volunteering within community theatre. She has also recently taken up teaching herself the violin; the neighbors and her cat are less thrilled about it than she is. |
