Librettist
Biography
Amy Punt is a screenwriter, essayist and new opera librettist. In collaboration with composer Mark Lanz Weiser, her first opera, The Place Where You Started, commissioned by Portland State University, premiered in 2016 and went on for a run in Shanghai, China. It then received its Los Angeles debut in 2017. Both productions featured Stage Director, Kristine McIntyre's visionary direction. Her writings have been spotlighted in publications like Salon.com, Alternet.com and in literary journals TheWeeklings.com and The Rathalla Review. She has appeared as a commentator on MSNBC. Originally from Chicago, Punt began her career writing and directing original plays for The Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Bailiwick Repertory, and Strawdog Ensemble. After receiving her Master of Directing for Cinema/ TV and Communication at Regent University, she moved to Los Angeles and began working at The Writers Boot Camp where she had the opportunity to develop scripts with Warner Brothers Animation and teach screenwriters professional development of their screenplays. Punt teaches creative writing at Rosemont College and privately coaches professional screenwriters through her screenwriting development company Drill It Down Scripts.
