Amanda Przygonska is a proud Oxford continuee and Emory senior from the Chicagoland area. She received three state championships and four regional championships in the IHSA drama and group interpretation state series in high school for shows such as Pygmalion (Eliza Doolittle), Napoli, Brooklyn (Francesca), A Life Extraordinary (Polly), and Electra (crew). Despite the pandemic limiting her theater experiences, she continued to be involved in Emory's Carnival of the Nearly Normal (student artist-producer and actor), Lenaia (an outgoing producer of a student-run play festival), APO, Dooley's Player's Wolves (#13), An American Animal (dramaturg), and Our Town (assistant director and Howie Newsome). She has done all this after participating in Oxford's Men on Boats (Frank Goodman and Mr. Asa) and Medea (Messenger). Amanda's experience has made her disciplined in acting, directing, stage managing, and playwriting.
What's next? Amanda plans on staying in the Atlanta area to pursue opportunities she has her. She plans to immerse herself in the field for a year or two before going on to graduate school.
Favorite accomplishment? Amanda loved being involved in Lenaia as both an incoming and outgoing producer. She loved helping plan the festival, being heavily involved in casting and creatives, participating as an actor and director, and running tech for the festival dates.
