Welcome
Amanda is a Philadelphia based theatre/visual artist, multi-instrumentalist and composer originally from northern New Jersey. She is the co-creator and one half of the edu-comedy duo, Ruth and Estelle; a dynamic pair of entertainers and educators who foster their love of storytelling through a series of engaging and inclusive cabarets, master classes, and their joy-filled podcast, "Learning Through Laughter".
As an actor, she is dedicated to sharing the humanity and heart inside even the most seemingly quirky of characters. She strives to bring to her work simplicity, spontaneity, a sense of quick wit and a spirit of joyful collaboration. (This bio was brought to you today by the letter S and by the number 5.)
As an artist and musician, she fuses a love of nature, history, poetry and literature into her music, mix media compositions, and jewelry designs.

Ruth and Estelle have their very own podcast!
The gals believe you never stop learning- so that's just what
they're doing. Pour yourself a cocktail and join Philadelphia's
newest (yet oldest) educomedy duo as they sit down and
"learn through laughter" with a special guest each week.
