Amy Scheer

Amy Scheer has taught and directed theatre in schools, communities and professional venues for over twenty years. An accomplished freelance writer, her essays appear in places such as Burnside Writers Collective and The Other Journal. Scheer studied with Theatre of the Oppressed founder and Nobel Peace Prize nominee Augusto Boal; at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and at Riding Lights Theatre Company in York, England. A native of western Pennsylvania, she resides with her husband and two sons in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and blogs about theatre and boxing at betterwaitforit.blogspot.com. “Amy's Theater Games had a profound impact on each homeless woman who came to our drop-in center. She was able to connect with the women in a way that allowed them to look at themselves in a different light and see hope.”
