In this delightful episode of Behind the Curtains, brought to you by the Asheville Theater Alliance, we sit down with the talented actor Amanda Ladd for a heartfelt and humorous conversation. Amanda shares how she first found her way into theater, along with a piece of advice from a college professor that continues to guide her to this day.
We dive into her work with New Circle Theatre Company in NYC, her passion for developing new works, and the dream roles still on her bucket list. Amanda also gives us a sneak peek at her upcoming one-woman show premiering in April—including the surprising (and bold!) things she’ll be doing live on stage.
Plus, get the inside scoop on her role as Blanche DuBois in the Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre’s upcoming production of A Streetcar Named Desire—and how she’s preparing to take on such an iconic character.
And yes, she finally answers the burning question: Is Alan Ladd her father? And what exactly does she do with all the fan mail meant for him?
