Andrea Stephenson

Andrea Stephenson’s love of music and theatre was nurtured by her parents. She started performing as a singer and actor in elementary school, and her passion for the performing arts grew throughout the years. As a psychology student at Juniata College, Andrea performed with a touring choir and founded a Musical Theatre Club. It was during this time that she explored life behind the scenes as a stage manager and as a director. After a bit of a theatre drought while getting her Ph.D. in Philosophy, Andrea returned to central PA and jumped into the community theatre scene at The Belmont Theatre in York. Since then, she has become involved in shows at Gettysburg Community Theatre, Hanover Little Theatre, DreamWrights Center for Community Arts, Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg, and Theatre Harrisburg.

Along with appearing on stage, Andrea has stage managed and directed multiple shows over the last ten years. Her favorite acting experiences include portraying Florence in The Odd Couple (Female Version), Sister James in Doubt, and Vivian Snustad in The Church Basement Ladies. She has directed over 15 shows; among her directing credits are Sex Please, We're SixtyGirls' WeekendRing of Fire; Love, Sex, and the IRS; Charlie Brown Christmas; Polyester; Drinking Habits; and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. In her non-theatre life, Andrea works as an optician. She loves writing reviews under the careful supervision of her cats.
