Amy Wolf - "Joanna Howard"
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Amy caught the acting bug around the tender age of 4 when her little sister came into the world. In an effort to re-claim her spot as the one and only, Amy began acting (out) and performing any chance she got.
She eventually went on to harness that into real, legitimate, crafted acting. She studies with some of the most amazing and inspiring people including Maggie Flanigan, Charlie Sandlan, Silvana Gallardo, Ivana Chubbuck and Susan Giosa, to name a few. Amy lived in Los Angeles for 5 years and managed to find a decent amount of stage work, considering. While there, she produced and acted in a sold-out run of PLAY: 5 One-Act Comedies. Since moving to NYC, Amy has had the honor and privilege of working with some extremely passionate and talented folks and is eagerly awaiting her future collaborations with lots more like-minded people! |
