About Me

I'm Amber Schisler, a theatre professional with over three decades of experience in the performing arts. As an actor, singer, musician, director, and designer, I've immersed myself in every aspect of the theatrical world.

Beyond the stage, I'm an arts administrator and advocate, passionate about fostering the growth and impact of the arts in our communities.

As an ardent arts education advocate, I believe in the power of creativity to shape young minds and have published guided journals, planners, and notebooks that encourage artistic exploration and self-expression.

 As the Director of Strategy and Ticketing at Morris Performing Arts Center, I'm on a mission to ensure that everyone can easily access the enriching experiences MPAC offers, from experiencing our living history to attending unforgettable events.

In the vibrant South Bend area, I'm deeply involved with actors and theatre companies, wearing multiple hats as an actor, director, and costume designer. Embracing the creative spirit of South Bend, I relish the opportunity to collaborate and bring artistic visions to life.

 My husband, Ryan, and I first connected on stage while portraying a married couple, and our love story continues beyond the spotlight.

In my downtime, you'll find me snuggling with our adorable dogs, Rosie and Oxford, who bring endless joy into our lives.

I enjoy running (eventhough I'm dangerously slow!) I lose myself in the pages of books, and love stories. Current favorites include the Mayfair Witches books, Anna Karenina, and Man's Search for Meaning. I have always loved sewing, knitting, embroidery, design, and crafting.
