I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."

Who may or may not ever know exactly where her keys are.

About Amanda

AMANDA ZWARENSTEIN is not a real Cohn sister, obviously. She is a founding member of The Cohn Sisters though, and she sometimes does this and that in Julie and Marion's theatrical endeavors. Mostly she is a tech girl and probably had a lot of opinions about this website and is "not really a theater person." She likes lots of things and she hates lots of things, none of which are important.

Amanda, according to Marion & Julie: She is just, simply, the best.
