Stacie Johnsen

Stacie Johnsen was born in Lawrence, Kansas; the only child of Steve and Rita Bryant. She started her career with Theatre for Young America in Kansas City, Kansas at the age of nine and continued her career in the theater. She worked in film, commercials, television and stage until her stage career took her to New York City where she made numerous appearances Off Broadway and Off Off Broadway. She has had the privilege of working under the direction of Stephen Schwartz and also appearing at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. It was in New York that she met her husband Michael and scaled back her acting career in order to create a home with him. She maintained a successful career on Wall Street as a Compliance Officer; a job which landed her in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Her survival of this tragic event brought home and family to the forefront and she retired from professional acting instead filling her time with work, family and non-professional theater projects close to her heart including the New Jersey premiere of the show she work shopped ten years earlier in New York City with Stephen Schwartz. She now resides in Central Pennsylvania with her husband, four cats, one dog and a fish, works as a legal secretary, is in the process of adopting her first child and continues to work in the local theater scene.
