Stephanie Jean Lane grew up in Milford, CT, where she trained at the Lee Lund Studio of Dance under the instruction of Broadway dancer Lee Lund. Lane grew up watching her father, Colin Lane, act on stages around the country. She danced and studied theater through her years at Columbia and Barnard College, and continued dancing professionally after graduating, working with Jenny Rocha & her Painted Ladies in late-night cabarets around Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Lane graduated with her MFA in Acting from NYU's Graduate Acting Program, where she received the Ron Van Lieu Scholarship, and has performed extensively off-Broadway, regionally, and on set. Some favorite credits include Regan opposite Patrick Page's King Lear directed by Simon Godwin at Shakespeare Theatre Company, Hecate in Punchdrunk's long-running "Sleep No More," Ela in Hector Prats' celebrated fast-paced short, "Enloquecer," and Valerie in Connor McPherson's "The Weir" at Berkshire Theatre Group.
When not acting, Stephanie writes and directs new work for film and stage. Her first short film, "Fort Trumbull," starring her dad, won Best Narrative Short Film at the Mystic Film Festival and was a selection of the Bridgeport Film Fest and the New Haven International Film Fest. She wrote and directed the play "Sweat Spot 101 with Diana Ramirez" for the Paul Walker Theater in NYC, toured a collaboratively devised play about Timothy Leary's experiments with LSD to the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival, and produced her own original dance-theater adaptation of Virginia Woolf's To The Lighthouse in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Shanghai.
She lives in NYC with her partner and their dog.
