Life at UCF

Amanda came Florida and UCF to earn her MFA in Theatre for Young Audiences after earning a BA in Theatre (emphasis in performance) from Susuqehanna University in Pennsylvania. When she is not in class, Amanda spends her time at Orlando Repertory Theatre, a professional children's theatre in partnership with UCF. Together, The REP and UCF create the perfect learning environment, and serve to instill an important balance of both theory and practice.
