His & Hers
As an avid reader, anytime I get an audition for a project based on a book, I run down to my local bookstore and snag that sucker up! With every updated on this project, Audition, Avail Check, Shoot Dates...I read faster and faster! One...because I don't like spoilers but primarily so I could understand the world within the book and what a world this one is!
Seeing His & Hers sprint it's way to number one on Netflix was surreal. This Cast and Crew were so lovely to me while on-set (and I got to work with some of the same wardrobe team on another unannounced project right after!) I am eternally so lucky to be able to do the work that I do!
Thank you to Formation Talent for helping me navigate my career and thank you to Fincannon & Associates Casting for trusting this little redhead!
The Mrs Pat Show
While nannying 2 year old twins, I got a call from a wonderful friend asking for my immediate availability for a week on a sit-com. The next morning, production called and asked if I could be on set in 1 hour. I had no idea what the role was, what the episode was about...never auditioned for it but BAM, I got myself to set right away!
Dove straight into blocking rehearsal, whisked away to wardrobe, did an HMU test, then back to a full cast rehearsal. I ended up on set for 3 days, including the taping in front of a live studio audience...an absolute dream of mine! I have loved the sit-com world my entire life and I am so grateful to have done my first one and I look forward to many more in the future!
Thank you to Mary Lou Belli for being my champion for so many years. For trusting that I can tackle any artistic challenge thrown at me even with zero prep. I had the time of my life and I am still buzzing! Thank you to the entire cast and crew of The Mrs Pat Show for making me feel so welcome so quickly!
And thank you for my team at Formation for always being in my corner! That was a great week for bookings...I had a couple hehe.
Premiere Anesthesia
I got to play a MESS! Ashley Ames was New Joyce and I, Ashlyn Stallings, was Old Joyce in this fun and jargon heavy piece!
Loved getting a twin on set! This was a laugh riot on set and in holding and I am so grateful to my team, the cast and crew of this Premiere Anesthesia spot!
You can see Ashley and Ashlyn...New Joyce and Old Joyce online, social media and at trade shows!

The In-Between:
Podcast Interview
I got to co-host 'The In-Between Podcast' created by Elizabeth Stater! A wonderful human being that I have known since being a teen! We chat about theatre camp, mental health, our biggest tik toker inspiration (I know...weird for millennials right?!), over extending ourselves and everything in between!
It's chaotic and goofy and unabashedly us! Take a LISTEN!
'ATLANTA' on FX
November of 2021, I shot an episode of one of my goal television shows, ATLANTA! Here's me, SO happy, in my trailer before heading to HMU and getting into wardrobe. You can watch Season 3 Episode 4 of 'Atlanta' on Hulu now!
CANNES FILM FESTIVAL
Cupcake and (Dis)Connected, two films I was in (and co-producer on (Dis)connected) were accepted into the Diversity In Cannes Short Film Showcase 2021.
As soon as the team heard the news, we scraped up some money and flew to France 2 weeks later! We spent the week connecting with filmmakers, seeing film premieres, doing Q&A's and having an absolute ball being surrounded by such brilliant creative minds!
EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL
Absolutely loved being part of the bloody bloody cast of EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL! It was a thrill and a riot working with these wickedly talented performers and I very much enjoyed bleeding all over the sold out audiences! Thanks to all that attended for supporting the arts and helping to fight off demons!
To all the men in my life...hope you don't get killed by a Candarian Demon!

For years I've always wondered what I would do in the zombie apocalypse...turns out I...'Amanda' would brave the outside world and take on this new normal with a fight! I like to think she is still out there kicking ass!
It was such a pleasure to work on this iconic show and I am truly honored to be a part of The Walking Dead family. Rub a little dirt on it and grab your favorite walker slaying weapon. You can watch episode 910 on the AMC website. Don't blink or ya might miss me!
Thank you to my People Store team for their endless hard work and support and to the entire cast and crew of The Walking Dead for welcoming me into your world!

I had the absolute pleasure of playing the lead 'Simone' in the short film Cupcake directed by Courtney Grace.
An adventure in the woods, the cold and being shunned by all of my friends in the film. An incredible cast and crew tackled this project and I could not be more grateful for this experience!
Thank you all for trusting me with this role and for pushing me and creating with me!
Phantasmagoria Atlanta performed at the Atlanta Fringe Festival June 5-9th 2019 to incredible audiences at 7 Stages! Thank you so much to all the organizers, audiences and fellow artists that were a part of the Fringe Fun!
