She has performed in theatres from Neptune in Halifax to the Citadel in Edmonton, and on April 20th she is going to be one of ten musical superstars to perform in Acting Up Stage\u2019s <em>The Sound of Silence<\/em> at the Bathurst Street Theatre. I asked Amanda what the city or town where her heart lies is and why. Here is what she said: (and check out her <a class=\"snap_shots\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/amandaleblancmusic\">MySpace<\/a> to listen to her beautiful song \u201cMan in the Moon\u201d!!) <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><strong>The Best of Both Worlds<\/strong><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">By Amanda LeBlanc<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">Where does my heart lie and why?Well, that\u2019s an easy question to answer- home. And home is where the heart is, isn\u2019t it? My heart beats most readily by the ocean, where the water meets the shore, and so lies on the coast of Nova Scotia- be it on the Eastern Shore, or in Belle Cote, Margaree (where my roots stem from). The ocean gives me perspective and connects me with who am at the core. I have grown to love Toronto, but it took some time that was ridden with doubt, and visiting home during that time got me through. I couldn\u2019t be happier to live here now, and to be headed East for the summer&#8230;. I\u2019ve now got the best of both worlds.So come hear some kick ass renditions of incredible Paul Simon tunes before I take off! It\u2019s going to be an awesome night.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><a class=\"snap_shots\" href=\"http:\/\/www.actingupstage.com\/\">Acting UpStage\u2019s <\/a><em><strong>The SOUND OF SILENCE<\/strong><\/em>: Thom Allison, Sara Farb, Steven Gallagher, Susan Henley, Andrew Kushnir, Amanda LeBlanc, Jeff Madden, Eliza-Jane Scott, Michael Therriault, Blythe Wilson.
