As a playwright, Erin has written adaptations of Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Tom Jones, and a holiday play often produced by Oklahoma Shakespeare: Jane Austen’s Christmas Cracker.

She can now be seen onstage with Whodunit Dinner Theater and occasionally at Oklahoma Shakespeare in the Park where she also directs and music directs for various productions. Amanda has a degree in music theater from the University of Central Oklahoma which has somehow also garnered her entry into the world of broadcasting as she can currently be heard in the mornings on KJ103 as a co-host on the show TJ, Amanda, and JRod In the Morning. Amanda also runs a Facebook page called The Central Oklahoma Theatre Calendar where she updates her followers on which shows are playing on which stages all over the central Oklahoma region. She is passionate about supporting theater and the arts.
