As a child I watched a LOT of Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn, then I devoured all of Jane Austen's novels in my teens, and now I dream of getting to work with Amy Adams, Laura Benanti, Audra McDonald, or the ghost of Stephen Sondheim. You can follow my ramblings here or subscribe to my newsletter, which is a new thing and will most likely be a mixed bag of self promotion, several bad puns, and musings on mental health.
“I go to the hills when my heart is lonely / I know I will hear what I’ve heard before / my heart will be blessed with the sound of music, and I’ll sing once more.”

Reviews
MELANCHOLY PLAY - A CHAMBER MUSICAL
Patrick O’Brien for chicagolandmusicaltheatre.com: "Stockstill, as the linchpin of the show, has the wildest emotional journey, from intense melancholy to intense happiness to a contentedness somewhere in between, and is immensely likeable and believable throughout. She is also in possession of a gorgeous soprano that easily flits between the bubbly and the lovely languorous aspects of the score.".
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
Sean Margaret Wagner for Windy City Times: "I've never understood Charlotte so well as I have from Stephanie Stockstill's aching yet hilarious performance."
THE STUDENT PRINCE
Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune: "In the smart but rather thankless role of Princess Margaret, the Prince's prearranged spouse, Stephanie Stockstill is simply wonderful, taking a fanciful, stock situation and somehow putting you in mind of loves lost, mistakes made and circumstances regretted all around. She had a tear in my eye."
PROMISES, PROMISES
Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune:“Also very striking here… Stephanie Stockstill, who movingly plays the woman in the office who knows the score”
NORTHANGER ABBEY
Patrick O'Brien of BroadwayWorld.com: "Stockstill is a game actress with a shockingly good soprano, who takes such apparent joy in the macabre, and who grows from girl to woman before our eyes as she embraces the sweet and indelicate complexities of life. A career to follow, for sure."
