During her 12 years in England, she was a member of the Durham Dramatic Society, took part in the Durham medieval mystery play cycle, performed in front of Durham Cathedral and performed and directed Shakespeare and medieval plays with the Lords of Misrule in York. She returned to Salida briefly in 2006 where she coached the drama club and directed the school’s spring production of Peter Pan. Her FCPA performances include: Fawlty Towers,  A Salute to Carol Burnett, Little Shop of Horrors, Fall Follies and Barefoot in the Park-which she also directed. Most recently Stephanie gave a heart-wrenching performance at “M’Lynn” in Steel Magnolias. Stephanie works as a librarian for both the school and the public library, where she entertains the kids with dramatic readings and storytelling on a weekly basis. In 2024, Stephanie took on the huge responsibility of director for Spamalot: the Musical, which was a smash hit.
