Feature for Playbill's Songwriter Series
"Centering on queer characters with an abstractly magical aesthetic, Ribnick's work often toes the line between comfortingly accessible and intriguingly layered." - MARGARET HALL
Never have I been so honored and never have I been so excited to share some news. I am Playbill's Featured Songwriter for March! It was incredible to be in Playbill's HQ sharing my original music and surrounded by so many of my friends.

Stage Managing Yes! The Musical Workshop @ IAMT
My first foray into Stage Managing has been an amazing experience! I always treasure opportunities to learn something new and expand my knowledge of how theatre is produced, and working on a musical inspired by Say Yes to the Dress has been nothing short of wonderful.

Demo Work for Booking.com Super Bowl Commercial
Recording demos for Drew Gasparini ("The Karate Kid - The Musical," "Skittles Commercial: The Broadway Musical") was an INCREDIBLE first experience in the commercial voice over world. I recorded multiple versions of his original song, "Somewhere, Anywhere," and was hired by Zulu Kilo Alpha to complete additional voice over work for the same piece. Check out Melissa McCarthy's rendition below!

Original Musical Series Underground: A New Musical Web Series Premieres
The Knight New Work Award-winning musical web series is finally out! Underground follows Phoebe, the perfect girl-next-door who finds herself in a less-than-perfect situation. Working with Jean, her steadfast lawyer, and Robin, Jean's snarky assistant, Phoebe recounts the night when her fiancee died only to realize - she can't remember any of it.
Underground is nothing short of the culmination of a group of friends theatrically stranded during a pandemic. I began writing it in March of 2020 and after hours (years) of work, it is finally available for all to enjoy. If you did CW shows and want more music in your life that sits right next to SIX, Wicked, and Waitress, you've found your next obsession. I hope. Check it out!

Original Musical RUNT: A New Musical Performed at University of Miami
A winter solstice, families bound by and without blood, and the grave of Elliott Cox. RUNT follows Cleo, the precocious fourth of five beloved siblings, and Thea, a peerless adopted daughter ready to meet her maker. Hardly the darlings of Anchorage, they search for purpose amidst grief, self-discovery, and the precarious families they call their own.
My last musical workshop at the University of Miami, RUNT, was nothing short of a celebration of my classmates and their talent.
I wrote the book, music, lyrics, orchestrations, and directed the piece through Theatre Action Group’s Stage Reading Series.

Fraulein Kost in "Cabaret"
“Amanda Ribnick’s… performance of “Tomorrow Belongs to Me (Reprise)” was spectacular. Fraulein Kost is not a main character, so the fact that Ribnick managed to make such a lasting impact in this role is a testament to her incredible vocal talent.”
Directed by Michael Jenkinson, I had the privilege of playing Fraulein Kost in Cabaret. It was a joy to perform in such a powerful show for my last University of Miami production.
