Stephanie Ann Foster

Christmas Present/Narrator 1

Stephanie Ann Foster is returning to the theatre after a decade of spotty attendance due to a gloriously extended maternity leave. She was proud to be a Conservatory Coordinator and then teaching artist with the California Shakespeare Theater right up until their final season (RIP), and a company member with Custom Made Theatre (currently in hibernation), and she most recently appeared as Mopsophil in Erin Merritt's Bruns production of The Emperor of the Moon for the Bay Area Women's Theatre Festival. Her favorite past roles include both Lucy and the White Witch of Narnia, Ophelia, Nora in A Doll's House, Rita in Educating Rita, Cecily in The Importance of Being Earnest, Vanda in Venus in Fur, Elmire in Tartuffe, and Viola in Twelfth Night. She has played five roles in A Midsummer Night's Dream and eight roles in Romeo and Juliet. She has had many adventures, including working for four years as an itinerant drama missionary, founding a theatre company in South Korea, and bringing adaptations of The Chronicles of Narnia to Asia, Alaska, and Australia. None of those adventures can hold a candle to her three daughters (ages 9, 8, and 7), and she is so grateful to be performing with two of them in this production! She sends many thanks to Martie for giving her this opportunity (and for putting up with her), and to Gene for living out the strength of his theatre convictions. Gene, we are all here, and many who hungered are fed, because of you. (www.StephanieAnnFoster.com)
