Amaris is thrilled to return to the AAC stage for the first time in five years! Audiences may recognize her from numerous productions of The Nutcracker at the Ashtabula Arts Center, as well as performances in the annual Spring Dance Concert. A graduate of Ohio Northern University with a degree in Biology and a minor in Dance, Amaris is currently applying to Physician Assistant programs while continuing to share her passion for dance as an instructor with Ballet Theatre Ashtabula (BTA). Beyond performing, Amaris has found a passion for teaching, rehearsal directing, and choreography. She has had the privilege of choreographing for BTA’s Spring Dance Concert, with her work also being showcased at Playhouse Square through DANCECleveland, the LaSalle Theatre for the Cleveland Dance Fest, the All Ohio Dance Festival, and Ashtabula’s Wine & Walleye Festival. Amaris is incredibly grateful to Director Zach Adkins for welcoming her back into the theatre world, giving her the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful production, and trusting her to contribute both onstage and as a choreographer. She would also like to thank the entire cast for making her return to theatre such a fun and memorable experience. A special thank-you goes to her family and friends, her wonderful BTA students, and especially her mother, Clover Robinson, whose endless love, encouragement, and support have always made her Amaris’s biggest cheerleader. Amaris is beyond excited to be performing again and is incredibly grateful to share the stage with such a talented cast. She wishes the entire cast and crew an amazing run—merde to everyone!
