Stephanie was born and raised in New York City. She began her performing career as a dancer studying at the School of American Ballet, but being the daughter of two opera singers, a professional singing career would most certainly be in her future. Her first professional acting job was in an Off-Broadway play at age 9. Throughout her childhood she continued studying dance while dabbling in theatre and commercials. At age 15, she landed a recurring role on ABC's All My Children, and at 16, Stephanie chose to leave the School of American ballet to further pursue her career in acting and musical theatre.
Stephanie was last seen in Los Angeles in the Celebration Theatre's production of THE NEXT FAIRY TALE, and prior to that, in The Crown City Theatre Company’s production of THE APPLE TREE, where she was named one of the Best Lead Performers of the Year for Southern California by BroadwayWorld.com. On Broadway, she performed in WONDERFUL TOWN with Donna Murphy and Brooke Shields for its year-and-a-half run. Her Off-Broadway theatre credits include leading roles in: THE OCCUPATION, and A NIGHT SEA JOURNEY. Regionally, Stephanie has performed in several shows including PHANTOM (Walnut Street Theatre), STUDENT PRINCE, MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER (Paper Mill Playhouse), MASTER CLASS (Portland Stage Company), CHILDREN OF EDEN, CHORUS LINE (North Carolina Theatre); and in LA Theatre, MONTHS ON END (Theatre 40), and I CAPTURE THE CASTLE directed by Cameron Watson (El Portal Theatre). Television/Film credits include The Bold and The Beautiful, Life Stories: Families in Crisis for HBO, Moving Mike, Slow Day, All My Children, and the animated short Oedipus, which was honored at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. As a writer, Stephanie's pilot TRUTH IN ADVERTISING won the Silver Prize in the Page International Screenwriting Awards, and was the runner-up in the Acclaim Film & Television Competition, both in 2003.
Stephanie studies voice with her mother, Judith Fredricks, and is a proud member of AEA, SAG, and AFTRA.
