THE REVIEWS ARE IN:
"Amanda Haddock is a one-of-a-kind artist. Her strengths as an actor are immeasurable. Deep, charismatic, diligent, creative, thinks out-of-the-box. I highly recommend her as a collaborator in everything you do." - Cathy Reinking, Former NBC Manager of Casting
"Amanda Haddock...playing the goofy friend with cutting delivery, walks away with the whole show. She’s an expert at playing to the crowd, so when she gets to stomp around through the audience during the climax, it’s a hell of a lot of fun." -Washington City Paper
"The dynamic Haddock was on 100% and completely in the moment. A few times, she broke the fourth wall and was either pleased or disappointed in us – sending us all into a sea of laughter." -DC Metro Theatre Arts
