Today we're meeting Amy Marie Stewart (she/her), a freshly debuted actor with Phamaly Theatre Company! Amy came to Phamaly's production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee with a rich background in opera, vocal coaching, writing, and a love for musical theatre. Amy shares her long journey of self-acceptance and affirmation in receiving her diagnosis of Parkinson's and being "enough" to create Art. Join us in welcoming Amy back to Colorado and exploring how disability incorporates into performance art!
