Tibbits Opera House

With the closing of Funny Money last night, we have now said good bye to a few more cast members and the crew is assembling another huge show.  We are now entering into our final show of the season with Cole Porter's Nymph Errant.  Nymph Errant will open Thursday Aug. 9th with a matinee and evening performance and will play for two weeks, closing Saturday Aug. 18th.

Playing the lead in Nymph Errant is Amy Lamberti.  As Evangeline Edwards, she travels the world in search of new adventures and love.  This is Amy's third summer here at Tibbits.  She is originally from Trumbull, CT and holds a BA in Musical Theatre from SUNY Cortland University.  Amy returned this summer knowing that she loves the community, theatre and company at Tibbits. 

Amy began in theatre when she was 8 years old in a production of Cinderella.  She did shows until 5th grade and then became very involved in competitive dance.  She began again in theatre during her Sophomore year in high school with the show Sweet Charity.  Amy and our stage manager Mark Abrahamson grew up together, and Amy was close with his sister Caitie.  When searching for colleges Caitie mentioned SUNY Cortland to Amy since Mark attended that college and was related to Kevin Halpin, the director of their musical theatre program, and also our director this summer of Chicago.  Amy was accepted at SUNY and while there started her path toward performing theatre for a living.

Amy was inspired by the theatre world when she was 3 years old and attended the out of town tryout for Beauty and the Beast.  Amy met Belle after the show, and Belle told Amy she liked her dress.  Amy says, "that was all it took," she was hooked on theatre.  Amy has worked for Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT, acting in many of their shows this last season.  Some dream roles of Amy's include Holly in the Wedding Singer, Regina in Rock of Ages and Louise in Gypsy.

Amy's advice to young hopefuls is to keep an open mind and keep in touch with everyone.  "You never know when you will work with someone again, it is a small world in theatre."  


It is indeed, Amy.  When saying good bye last night to several company members, I kept saying, "It's never a good bye, it's a see ya later."  Because it is true, over the years, I have continued to run into and work, many times, with the same people from past productions.

Come see Amy Lamberti explore the world of adventure and love in Nymph Errant. 

See you at the show!!!
