I recently shot Lumiere Fantome, a haunting tale based on the life of the Oakley brothers who built what is now known as the Lake Worth Playhouse. I play the role of Clarence Oakley's wife, Leota, who tragically dies and haunts her husband until his death. The film also stars Peter Marzilli, Gregory Albrecht, and Suzanne Niedland. Lumiere Fantome will make it's world premier at the L-Dub Film Festival at the Stonzek Theater on September 17 (5-10pm). Hope to see you there!

In my most recent stage play, I played the role of Blanche in the Lake Worth Playhouse production of Neil Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs, directed by Lisa Bankert and Richie Lester. It ran November 20-December 13, 2009.

Check out the Talkin' Broadway review of Brighton Beach Memoirs by John Lariviere. Here is an excerpt: "Stephanie Haber has a calm strength on stage whether paired with Steve d'Oliveira as her husband, or Amy Hoerler as her sister Blanche. The three actors interact beautifully together." Read the rest of the review here.

Oh, and how cool is this review of Brighton Beach Memoirs? The author writes, "I was impressed with Amy Hoerler who I felt gave a terrific performance of [Blanche] a single mom raising two daughters, living in the Jerome home." Check out the complete article at this website.

Woody Bavota has cast me in his film, Power of Purpose, filming in the Boston area in 2010. More about the film (including synopses) can be found via this link.

I played Louise in David Spaltro's feature length independent film, ...Around, starring Rob Evans.

I could not be prouder of David than I already am. In fact, I knew he would make this movie before he ever made it. I'm grateful he cast me in this wonderful film of his. And hopefully, he will continue to be successful in the business of making them!

I starred in Nicholas Collura's bittersweet short, Mother & Child. Filmed on location in Rhode Island, the film is about a "distraught single mother (me) who withdraws from society to an empty and abandoned beach house seemingly at the edge of the world, where her young daughter (Emma Nanamaker), growing increasingly alienated by her mother's brooding angst, begins to receive visions of an angel (Marianne Schuck)." Premiered April 28, 2007 at the Whitney Humanities Center auditorium at Yale.

Award-winning writer/director Lulu Wang's independent short film, Can-Can (based on the story by renowned author Arturo Vivante) is "a bittersweet story about marriage and infidelity, devotion and guilt."

Did you catch me on Law & Order (episode "Gaijin")? I played a top reporter trying to get the scoop about the murder of a prominent Japanese model visiting New York (I was in the middle on Jessie L. Martin and Will Yun Lee for an entire scene--no lines, but still neat!)

I was one of the five actors on Bravo TV's Do You Have It Contest, a national talent contest based on acting ability, creativity, performance, and originality. The winner of the contest, Ingrid Sanai Buron, has become quite famous and has gone on to appear in numerous television shows (i.e. House) and in film.

I have wanted to be an actress since the age of 5. I have always had the desire to create characters and present them to an audience. It was only after the tragic events of 9/11 that I decided to pursue my dream of acting.

In late 2002, I started my acting career, stepping on stage for the very first time. Shortly thereafter, I started in film.

Due to family circumstances, I left NYC with my husband and dogs, making my home in Florida. I'm hopeful that I will continue to work in film and theater, and that someday I'll land roles in major film and television projects.
