An Evening of May Miller is her second stage appearance.
Amina Banks
is joining FPCT for her second production since moving to Baltimore to attend college at Morgan State University. Amina’s first performance was in Antigone playing the role of Antigone. She believes the role taught her many things about herself as an actor and storyteller, which prepared her for this production itself. This is Amina’s first community theatre production. She is exhilarated to be a part of something so necessary and pivotal in the community. Every story has intention behind it, and it is her goal to bring that same intention as an actor. The cast and director are amazing and she is grateful for this opportunity to be a part of this storytelling.
