Stephanie (she/her) is beyond thrilled to be joining RMS for this production of Island Song! Originally from Wisconsin, Stephanie spent her youth in various theater camps, voice lessons, and middle school productions before pausing her performance aspirations due to crippling anxiety.

Her credits include The Music Man (Marian Paroo), Seussical (Bird Girl), Cabaret, Mamma Mia!, High School Musical, and most recently, Newsies (Katherine Plumber). When she’s not performing or screlting in the shower, Stephanie is an interior designer living in Brooklyn. She loves traveling, fancy cocktails, puzzles, and spending time with her partner, Julien and tiny dog, Olympia. Stephanie would like to thank the entire RMS cast and creative team for inviting her on this journey, and standing by her as incredible supports at this moment in her life. She would like to dedicate this experience to her family, but in particular her late father, Tony, who inspired her love of music and always believed “there’s a song for everything”. Love you all, infinitely.
