Meet the Burnett Family: three generations of born and bred small-town Texans. Whether they've bought into life in Paducah or have chosen to run from it, all of them have long been set in their ways, but an untimely death in the family forces everyone to reevaluate. Will they soldier on as before, or will they change?
Hey y'all
Meet Mandy, a seasoned playwright and actress calling New York City home, but with Texas roots that run deep. Born and raised amidst the vibrant energy of Austin, her story winds its way along the highways of the southwest, from the bustling streets of San Marcos to the quiet charm of Ponca City, Oklahoma. It's this blend of urban grit and southern soul that shapes her unique perspective on storytelling.
While her journey has taken her across oceans to the stages of London and the historic theaters of Stratford-upon-Avon, Mandy's heart remains firmly rooted in the landscapes of her youth. At Texas State University, she cultivated her craft, earning a BFA in Acting with a penchant for crafting narratives that resonate far beyond the footlights.
As a playwright, Mandy isn't interested in starting conversations about specific topics; she's more about sparking connections. Drawing from her southern upbringing and the eclectic pulse of the big city, she seeks to bridge divides and celebrate the universal threads of humanity that bind us all.
On stage, Mandy thrives when portraying women who defy convention; characters with curves, complexities, and an unapologetic embrace of their own truth. It's these roles that allow her to shine a spotlight on the stories too often left untold in today's society.
Join Mandy on her journey as she continues to craft compelling narratives and challenge the status quo, and follow along on social media for a behind-the-scenes peek into the life of a true artist.
