Amanda Faye Martin went to Kenyon College in Ohio, where she learned how to think about stuff while running around in Amish cornfields. By the time she graduated in 2012, she realized that the absence of transcendental truths/privileged values actually means that we have an amazing amount of freedom to design our lives. Equipped with this knowledge, she decided that the world is her playground/oyster (depending on how much she is underwater) and got an internship at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago because making plays are for people who have things to say and never want to stop playing. She's now touring the country with The Hampstead Stage Company, a traveling educational theater group.
