BHS Theatre Program

Lights, Camera, Action!!!

Welcome to the Theatre Department at Burnet High School! My name is Amanda Brandenburg and I am the Theatre Director at Burnet High School. I teach Theatre Arts 1, Theatre Arts 2 - 4, Technical Theatre 1, Technical Theatre 2-4, UIL Theatrical Design, and BETC. I have 22 years of teaching experience and this is my 17th year teaching in Burnet. My hometown is Brackettville, Texas and I graduated from Brackett High School. After high school, I obtained a Bachelor's degree from Texas Lutheran University in Theatre Arts and Speech Communication. Then, I attended Kansas State University and obtained a Master's degree in Theatre Arts, specializing in Directing, while I was also a teaching assistant for the university. Upon graduation, I started my high school teaching career, which ultimately brought me to the wonderful Burnet CISD.

My husband and I are excited to live and work in the Burnet community! We have a 7 year old daughter, Robyn, who is in 2nd grade at Shady Grove Elementary. She loves being a BULLDOG! We also have a dog named Lizzy.

Some of my hobbies include going to see lots of live theatre, reading, watching movies, baking, and traveling. I love shoes, especially sneakers, and my favorite kind of candy is Peanut M&M's.

My goal this year is to give you the best lessons possible and to foster a love and respect for Theatre. I want my students to get better year after year so this year will be filled with educational opportunities that will guide the student's growth. I love Theatre and look forward to the fun we will have exploring and learning!

I wish everyone an excellent and happy school year!
