Stephanie is a graduate of SMU’s Professional Theatre Training Program. She enjoyed playing the character of Flip in FLIP AND GLIB so much that she cried, “The show must go on!” even after having a pizza-induced aneurysum while shooting.  Not really.  There is no such thing as a pizza-induced aneurysm.
