"The thing that's so striking about you in this part is the combination of breathtaking glamour and comic intelligence. It doesn't hurt that you have a terrific work ethic and take direction beautifully."
-John Christopher Jones, Broadway actor & director of Engaged! at the Depot Theater
Amanda Jones is a brilliant talent. Amanda is funny and sad, beautiful and plain, light and dark, bold and cowardly, young and old and in between. Whatever she plays, she is. She finds the truth in the heart of every dark moment. Every move she makes, every speech she utters, is part of an onstage world she invests with total reality. She has the ability to make the simplest of phrases sing -- every playwright's dream. And she (almost) never paraphrases!!
- Joel Gross, author of Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh
"Amanda is a first class actress! Her professionalism is matched by her talent and she is entirely pleasurable to work with. She brings strong choices to the table and takes direction readily and eagerly. I look forward to our next collaboration. And our next... and our next... and our next..."
- Michael Halberstam (director of Candida at Jean Cocteau Rep; Artistic Director of Writers' Theatre)
"It is a privilege to work with Amanda Jones. Every portrayal is full of immediate life and hidden promise. Astute and feeling; poised and playful; spontaneous and thoughtful: her sophisticated talent comprehends contradictions without paradox, while she offers delightful and revelatory characters to her audiences (and fellow artists) alike."
