Well hey there
Thanks for visiting my website! If you don't know me, I'm a performer from southwest Missouri who lives in Chicago with my photographer husband and our two cats.

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 love horror and magical realism... and comedy… and Sondheim… I love a lot of styles and forms! You can follow my ramblings here or subscribe to my newsletter, which will most likely be a mixed bag of self promotion and musings on mental health. If you don’t like dad jokes I would maybe steer clear.
Up Next!
Cheering on my friends, attending/standing up in a couple of weddings, seeing theatre and concerts and films, casting the 10th season at Theatre Above the Law, plotting and scheming! Frolicking! Check back soon!

MARY ROSE
Original Cast Album
Following the world premiere of MARY ROSE, the cast and creators (Ed Rutherford and Jeff Bouthiette) got to spend a weekend in a professional recording studio making magic, and the fruits of our labors are available now on all streaming platforms!
You can also hear me sing (and read a letter) from Sondheim’s Passion on my friend Matt’s album I Should Have Worn Green: McNabb Sings Sondheim. This track was such a delicious treat to record with Matt and my good friends Kelli Harrington and Nick Sula!
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."
