Actor, extraordinaire
Production Website Reviews Narrator Amy Haynes Rapnicki leads the cast through her balanced, relatable narration. Rapnicki escorts the audience through the events of the show, using a professionalism of a typical narrator, with several well-placed comedic outbursts here and there to remind the audience that The Boy Who Lived is not the focus of this story. Her […]
Read More →Production Website Reviews There’s an interesting juxtaposition of Snow White (Amy Haynes Rapnicki) at the party looking bored with a cigarette and a bunch of excited kids jumping around her, their parents all taking selfies with them. We can already see that this show is going to be entertaining. https://mdtheatreguide.com/2022/11/theatre-review-roald-dahls-matilda-the-musical-presented-by-charm-city-players-at-notre-dame-of-maryland-university/ Gallery
Read More →Production Website Review Amy Haynes Rapnicki plays a variety of ensemble parts, but most notably the high school gym teacher not unlike some of the gym teachers we all remember from our youth. Hysterical! http://www.theatrebloom.com/2023/03/freaky-friday-at-the-maryland-theatre-collective/ Gallery
Read More →Production Website Reviews The standout in this, though, is Amy Haynes Rapnicki as Paulette Buonufonte, the unexpected friend to Elle and down-to-earth, positive stylist. Haynes is a pro who knows her way around the stage and knows this character inside and out. She becomes this character and her natural delivery and authenticity shine through. Vocally, […]
Read More →Production Website Reviews Those who can’t do…bitch and complain about how they wish they could but hate teaching. That, in a nutshell (because this show is NUTS) is Miss Thorn (Amy Haynes Rapnicki.) And as the show says, there are no lousy songs, just lazy singers. And Rapnicki is far from a lazy singer, really […]
Read More →Production Website Review Rapnicki’s Ursula is another highlight. The actress has a marvelous voice, but it is accompanied by a characterization that portrays the villainess with just enough evil to hate her, but not too scary for the real small children in the audience. After her chilling, but very funny, version of “Daddy’s Little Angel” […]
Read More →Production Website Review Amy Haynes Rapnicki takes on the role of the uptight, youngest contestant, Logainne Schwartzandgrunenierre […]. Rapnicki is a trip as this character and she has a very good comprehension of this character and plays her appropriately. Using an over-exaggerated lisp for the character, she still manages to get her lines out clearly […]
Read More →Production Website Review Amy E. [Haynes] and Glenn Singer are a hoot as Cookie and Ernie. [Haynes] gets many a laugh from her back spasms, which force her to lie flat on the sofa, or to walk around the stage on all fours. She particularly captures the silliness when she gets everyone else on the […]
Read More →Production Website Review James has two aunts, Spiker and Sponge, who were played by Ashley Gerhardt and Amy E. Haynes. Both were clear audience favorites, playing hilarious and outrageous characters, dressed in bright costumes with crazy hair and makeup. Gerhardt and Haynes worked fabulously together on stage especially during their funny songs, “There’s Money on […]
Read More →Production Website Reviews There’s fiery spirit with meandering Irish lilts aboard Titanic too. Rogue Kate McGowan (Amy E. Haynes), Kate Mullins (Kelly Rardon), and Kate Murphey (Alyssa Wellman Houde) are the mighty fighting Irish, along with Jim Farrell (Mark Lloyd) and Barrett (Stephen Foreman) aboard the ship of dreams. Haynes, Rardon, and Houde lead the […]
