"Amanda Moody is unforgettable, larger-than-life, versatile, agile, and brave. A master actor who commands every moment.” Main Stage West
"Intense, profound. Not to be missed! Amanda Moody is a virtuoso performer at the height of her powers." Curtain Call, KRCB Radio
“Her performance is riveting … suffused with aching poetry …” SF Bay Guardian
“Moody fuses poetry with religious ecstasy and the present-day travails of war and media misinformation.” SF Weekly
“A considerably more transgressive vision of what women want ... She's riveting." SF Bay Guardian
“When Amanda Moody takes the stage, she takes no prisoners. And when she takes the mic, she testifies.”
Joe Paulino, actor; musician
“The magic of great performance art is its ability to become legend in the bodies of those who witness it. Amanda Moody’s Serial Murderess is in my body as legend. Having seen it only once, it made such deep impression that when I speak of the work, I speak mythically. I see a tree. A woman. Venom. I see shafts of light. I hear a big voice, the ruffle of a long cloth, a whisper. I feel a shudder. I feel desire. I like work that captures me.”
Ellen Sebastian Chang, opera & theater director; writer
“Moody’s virtuosity - as writer, singer, actor - is awesome,” Back Stage West
