Amber T. Chase
- Actress
Amber was the last of six children of a poor family. She liked to dig
holes in her back yard with her only toy, a silver spoon. She had the
desire to travel and thought she would simply furrow through to the
other side of the earth. One day her school brought her to a Broadway
show, Porgy and Bess, that was on tour in her home town. It changed her
life. She filled the huge hole in the backyard, now a public nuisance,
and announced to her parents that she would travel to New York, study
with Herbert Berghof and be an actress. Years later, after graduating
from Concordia University where she majored in Performing Arts and
Directing, she accomplished her dream in New York. She also studied
with Lloyd Williamson. He introduced her to the renowned master
teacher, Anna Sokolow. She also studied dance with Ann Reinking, Otis
Salid Sand also at the Broadway Dance Center. Amber also sings and
loves musicals. She is a character actress who has played housewives,
