Amy M.Gaither-Hayes, M.F.A.
Theatre

Adjunct Instructor

Since she was a young child, Amy Hayes has been performing for live audiences, singing on radio jingles, and recording in the studio.  She studied acting at Interlochen Center for the Arts, received her B.A. in Theatre and English from Vanderbilt University, and her MFA in Acting from the University of Nebraska.  She continues to study dance and movement intermittently. 

Amy has written and performed in several productions of a one woman show called “Atomic Pomegranate,” as well as directed and acted in many other productions.  Some of her favorite roles include Lady Macbeth, Toinette in Moliere’s Imaginary Invalid, Lucia in A Shayna Maidel, Maria and Olivia in Twelfth Night, Gypsy Rose Lee in Gypsy, and Maria in The Sound of Music, Guildenstern in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Gretchen in Chris White’s Rhythms, and May in Chris White’s Thaw.  She was commissioned to create two movement theatre pieces for the now-defunct Y2K Studios in Anderson, IN.  She has particularly enjoyed directing Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet (for Y2K) and Midsummer Night’s Dream (for Putnam County Playhouse) and Romulus Linney’s Sand Mountain (Anderson University and Wagon Train Productions in Lincoln, NE). 

She has taught at the University of Nebraska, Indiana Wesleyan University, Anderson University, and has been teaching at DePauw since 2003.  She and her husband, Andrew Hayes, have three children and live in Greencastle.
