Favorite Movie: Sunrise, F. W. Murnau, (1927)

What I like most about working for OGT: Seeing the impact films have on folks, whether that is seeing the community come together to enjoy a classic on the big screen or just one person sharing with me how a film changed their thinking, made them feel something, or taught them something new.

When I’m not at OGT, I’m… doing laundry? Just kidding…out in nature with my husband and two kids.

Amy does much of the behind the scenes work to keep the non-profit side of Friends of Greenbelt Theatre running smoothing. From managing memberships to processing donations to writing grants to bring new opportunities to the theater and its community!

Favorite Movie: The Royal Tennenbaums

What I like most about working for OGT: the popcorn! But really, it’s amazing getting to see everything that goes on behind the scenes to bring you the films and experience you’ve come to know and love.

When I’m not at OGT, I’m… chasing my three kids, swimming, or trying out new recipes.
