Amy Gaither Hayes

Whether working as a speaker, vocal artist, actress, dancer, stage director, writer, teacher or storyteller, Amy Gaither-Hayes is driven by the notion that art aimed at the heart can transfigure the souls of men and women. As one who thanks God for the leaping greenly spirits of the trees and a blue true dream of sky, Amy Hayes says yes to His amazing days and the chance to share the story of those amazing days with others.

The writing room and the reading room are two of the most treasured spaces in the Hayes home today. In fact, Amy believes that clues about the heart of a homeowner can be found in their bookshelves. Favorite reads in Amy’s collection include books by Robert Benson, Susan Howatch, John Irving, Madeleine L’Engle and, on a somewhat higher shelf, the many works of William Shakespeare.

Today Amy and her husband Andrew – along with their three children – live in rural Indiana where Amy teaches Acting at DePauw University in Greencastle, IN.
