Ms. Amspoker's past theatre credits, in a variety of technical positions, include How to Succeed in Business…, Dracula, and Lurking on the Railroad among others. With Audacity she has Stage Managed Mint Juleps, Cleveland, Goner, and Single Servings.

The love of theatre keeps him coming back again, and again. He has finally moved to Dallas with his best buddy of seven years, the beagle, Elvis Rex.
