About Amy

I am an experienced stage and screen actress and licensed to teach Theatre Arts in Virginia from Kindergarten to 12th grade. I have worked in all areas of theatre and film production and include professionalism and how to survive in the industry. As a screenwriter and professional script reader I also guide my students through character analysis and how to get through a cold reading. I have trained at some of the nation's best schools. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre from Elon University, then completed the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting, recently finished an MFA in Film-Television at Regent University, and am completing a graduate certificate in Philosophy and Ethics from Harvard Extension School (and yes, philosophy has a LOT to do with plays - plays and storytelling are all about life!). I take an intuitive, intellectual approach to teaching so I can train your mind. EVERYTHING you do comes from your brain. Some of the best actors and directors are highly intelligent people. So I'm not only going to help you with your technique but I will help you to think like a creative. And that will also help your improv skills, too! I have met so many actors who seem fake on stage and in films because they're trained on how to look like they're acting rather than how to BE a character. If all you know is how to use your voice then that's only half of what an actor does. Think about the most compelling actors you've seen on stage, TV, or in movies. Do they convince you? Can you see despair or happiness in their eyes? That's good acting. Affectation isn't. (And it's very annoying and both directors and casting directors can't stand it.)

I have experience in working with students who do not speak English as their first language, and students with special needs, such as physical, neurological, or emotional exceptionalities. Erudite students love my approach because I can cater lessons to meet their advanced mental abilities, so if you have a gifted child or teen who needs a challenge then I will happily give them plenty. I work with students ages 3 to 19, of all backgrounds and of all abilities.

Dallas Children's Theatre (Dallas, TX): Summer Education Intern

I took dance lessons at Pine Crest School when I was younger, and continued to train in Ballet and other forms of dance while at Elon, and at the University Center for the Performing Arts in Davie, FL.

I take private lessons in piano and ukulele.

I trained in improvisational acting at DSI Comedy in North Carolina and Sick Puppies Comedy in Florida.

I have been a production intern at Jpixx (a video-led marketing company) and Studio Center in Virginia Beach. I am starting an internship at WHRO in Norfolk in February 2018. I have directed short films in addition to several plays. Because of my experience in production I can help students understand the business of being an actor, and I have many professional connections who can provide other services, such as headshots, taping/recording, etc.

Amy Mahon gave my daughter additional skill sets that increased her confidence as a young theater kid. She assisted to direct her in a production in a professional clear, concise and nurturing way. My daughter cried when she moved on to other endeavors. I strongly recommend Amy for children learning theater/acting at any age or level. She has even run into my daughter at auditions and given her last second advice.

Generally I charge $50/hour-long lesson. If I have to buy supplies, such as books or print out a lot of pages, then I ask to be compensated for those. However, I am happy to work with people on a case-by-case basis. I want to help people, not make a profit off of them. I don't like to barter but in some cases I have done it when a child really wants to improve their skills and it is beyond the parents' financial abilities to enroll them in a class. At the end of the day it is way more rewarding for me to spend the time working with someone who is passionate about their craft, and I love finding out my students have been cast in short films, television episodes, and commercials. I reserve the right to deny providing lessons to anyone for any reason.
