About soverland
Born and raised in Brooklyn, this former NY'er calls the Bay Area home, but her heart will always belong to NY! An Executive Asst by day for a Silicon Valley high tech giant, Susan's real passion is acting. She began performing in musicals as a young child in NY, continued through high school, then took and 18-year hiaitus to raise her children. She began acting again, in non-musicals, over a decade ago and has performed throughout the Bay Area, and she made her directorial debut this past summer. Four years ago, she co-founded Center Stage Productions in Willow Glen, a small, community-owned theater company which continues to grow. Susan teaches an adult beginning acting class every summer. When she is not working or on the stage, you will find her volunteering, teaching and spending most of her spare time with her spiritual family at the San Jose Center for Spiritual Living, where she is also a licensed Practitioner since 2005. Susan lives in San Jose with her beloved husband, Max, and their dog, Hagrid.
