Amy voices Legacy in BERZERK!.

What does BERZERK! mean to you?
BERZERK! is a show that highlights the way society projects issues onto the younger generation, when in fact, the younger generation gets almost the least amount of respect from society. Growing up watching shows like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Legend of Korra, The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, etc. Gen Z kids have watched kids save the world time and time again on their screens and in their novels. It gives them a sense of power, but I think BERZERK! really captures the obligation and pressures that power puts on children as well. I really love the story BERZERK! is telling and how, especially Legacy's arc, highlights the obligations and pressures in young people.

What have you learned/experienced from working on BERZERK!?
I have learned so so so much in this process. I learned that online theatre can be fulfilling, activating and exciting! I had one of the best rehearsal experiences I've ever had in any show. I learned from everyone around me and was challenged and inspired by everyone involved. I also really enjoyed the conversation around how children/teens are often tasked with saving the world. Getting to tell a story that feels so relevant to an entire generation that grew up being inspired by teen heroes has been such an amazing experience.

What do you hope that people can take away from BERZERK!?
For me personally, and through playing Legacy, I hope people finish streaming BERZERK! and reconsider the way they perceive what a "Legacy" is. I don't want to shove any specific points of view down anyones throat but I hope Legacy's character sparks some thoughts on pressures and expectations, the "gifted kid" trope, and choosing your own path.
