In addition to solo plays, Amontaine also writes for ensembles. Her play, Don't Call it a Riot! was a finalist in the 2017 Bay Area Playwright's Festival. Riot! received a staged reading from Theatre Battery in 2016, and the Neptune Theater as part of their Nights at the Neptune series in 2017. Riot! had full productions in 2018 at the 18th & Union Theatre, and 2019 at 12th Avenue Arts.  In addition, Amontaine was commissioned to write, Memory Bus, a new play for Mirror Stage on gun control, which had a public reading in the autumn of 2020. Her latest play, The Ever-Expanding Moment, received a workshop and public reading through ACT Theater's Local Playwright's series in October of 2020.
