AMARA MCNEIL

Amara McNeil is a New York-based theatrical lighting designer and filmmaker. She holds a B.A. in Theater from Fordham University and is a 2019 ALW American Theater Wing Scholar.
As a visual storyteller, she aims to create an immersive experience for the audience, using vibrant colors and dynamic angles to bring texture to the stage. She enjoys work created for and by the black community, as well as projects that push the boundaries of what we can imagine to be real. As she continues to learn and grow, Amara hopes to create work that breaks down society’s perception of who gets to tell stories and what stories deserve to be told. When she isn’t on a show or set, you can find her advocating for her peers, holding those in power accountable, or talking up a storm like the extrovert she is.
