THE LAST YIDDISH SPEAKER Comes to Philadelphia This Month

Stephanie Satie (CHAVA, she/her) is delighted to be onstage at InterAct in this powerful play. She is an actor and playwright, – the author of last season’s The Last Parade, beautifully directed by Seth Rozin. Stephanie has performed on and off-Broadway, in regional theatres, and internationally, first, as a dancer, then as an actor in roles ranging from those of Shakespeare to Neil Simon to Ionesco and Berkoff. With grants from the Los Angeles Dept of Cultural Affairs, she created three critically acclaimed solo plays -- Refugees, set in an ESL classroom, published by Samuel French, Coming to America, (ten monologues of women asylum seekers) and the multiple award winning, Silent Witnesses, based on interviews with child survivors of the Holocaust. She’s brought them to many theatres, universities and museums across the country. On TV she recurred in “The Wonder Years” as Ida Pfeiffer and in “The Practice,” “Beverly Hills 90210,” and many soaps and courtroom dramas. She played another Chava in the National tour of Fiddler on the Roof in Philadelphia in the last century. Stephanie loves to travel and immerse herself in other languages and cultures, studying Russian, French and Spanish and she taught Literature and Writing at California State University, Northridge. During the pandemic, she wrote and co-starred in a short film “In the Zoom Room, produced by Women in the Arts and Media Coalition. She has endless faith in the power of theatre to enlarge our view of the world.
