WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT AMIE…

“The pie`ce de resistance, is, of course, the acting. …like Meryl Streep or Glenn Close, equally able to amuse or to reduce us to tears. Because Amie Sponza is not afraid to feel, to care, to be intensely involved each moment of the life (they) portray, we…are able to surrender …and be carried away.  It is extremely rare to see this level of professional acting in a Pulitzer Prize-winning play without fighting the expressway traffic and laying out $120.”

-- Peg Murray, Review of ‘Night Mother

“I saw Amie Sponza delighting audiences as Lucy in “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”. Since then, it has been life-affirming to watch her grow into a robust and sensually potent actress. Her name guarantees us a vital performance….These actors are nothing if not truthful.”

-- Peg Murray, Review of Collected Stories

“Amie Sponza has demonstrated consistently her managerial abilities through her leadership of Northeast Stage over the years. Simultaneously she has been a productive and creative member of an unrelated family owned business and has raised two academically accomplished children. She has, through her leadership in directing 17 major stage productions at Greenport High School, honed her skills in creating teams of people working together toward a common goal. She brings an impressive and varied skill set to any situation. I recommend her without reservation.”

-- Jere Jacob, Actor/Director

“As an actor and an admirer of business saavy, I have been impressed with Amie's diligence in preparation, hard work and creativity to maximize costs and marketing opportunities. Based on her work both on stage and in business, she could easily carry over her success in future ventures. Her recent performance in "'Night, Mother" was outstanding and to increase revenue in these challenging economic times speaks volumes for her abilities.”

-- Stephen Scheck, Actor 

“I have had the pleasure to work with Amie twice and both times she was a dream cast mate. Amie takes the time to know the material she is presenting and is extremely helpful and professional in her work. I've seen her handle drama, musical and comedy on several occasions as an actor and as an audience member and she is great to watch work. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with Amie on stage or screen. She is a pro all the way!”

- - Matthew O’Conner, Actor

“A master of all things theater with Northeast Stage, Amie has built up the local community theater scene to a top-notch level. I am from the Midwest and didn't expect much from local performances on the North Fork, but boy was I wrong. Northeast Stage actors and those behind the scenes deliver professional and engaging plays time after time for intelligent and educated audiences. It is always a pleasure to witness.”
