ⓘ About Amy Poeppel

Amy’s married to a neuroscientist at NYU and Director of the Max Planck Institute in Frankfurt, named David Poeppel. They’ve lived in many cities, including Berlin, New York City, San Francisco, and have had three sons along the way. Amy attended sessions at the Actors Studio Playwrights/Directors Unit and wrote the theatrical version of “Small Admissions”, which was performed there as a staged reading in 2011. Her writing has also appeared in LitHub, The New York Times, The Rumpus, Working Mother, The Belladonna, and Points in Case. She is a total theater and book nerd, which are two of her absolute favorite things in the world. Writing “Limelight” was her chance to throw herself into the behind the scenes world of Broadway, and she enjoyed every minute of it.
