VICTORIA STEFFINS

Singer - Actress - Teacher

How many 2-year-olds do you know that figured out how to use a remote just to watch "Lonely Goatherd" from The Sound of Music over and over... and over again?

Hi, I'm Victoria, and I was that kid.

I am a Louisiana-born woman who grew up in a home and family filled with the love of music. From get togethers that ended in long singing sessions to my obvious obsession with musicals, I started my vocal awareness at a young age. Although I worked on the skill of singing, it wasn't until sophomore year of high school that I auditioned for theatre. My first show was Pride & Prejudice, a story that I grew up watching with my three younger sisters, and I was hooked.

Now living in San Diego, I intruct at Fred Astaire Dance Studios and teach the arts as I pursue performing. Having settled into a new city after receiving my BFA in Musical Theatre and taking some unplanned time to direct, I'm excited for this next chapter in performing arts.

Thanks for checking out my page!

Most Recent - Twisted: The Musical (2024)

Reprising the role from the previous Christmas season, I was thrilled to join Awaken Theater with their most recent adaptation of Twisted: The Musical. It was wonderful to work on new nuances with the character, and there were still moments that surprised me along the way.

During rehearsals, the theatre put out small promotional videos on Instagram in a series titled "Between The Scenes." With this project, I was given the opportunity to test out my 80's pop skills in a short clip of "Alone" by Heart. Take a look!

California Debut - Awaken Theater

Before their most recent production of Twisted: The Musical, I was given the opportunity to portray roles in Hero: The Rock Musical (2024) and Twisted: The Musical. My first experience led me to play a part that I never expected - a demon.

I love a good challenge, and this role did not disappoint with its obstacles and demands of physical stamina. If you are curious about how this show looked and would like to explore further, here is a short recap video of the 2024 version.

Previous Projects

Julia Sullivan in The Wedding Singer in 2023 (top left), Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun in 2022 (top right), Elinor Dashwood in Sense & Sensibility in 2018 (bottom right), and Miranda in The Tempest in 2016 (bottom left)

Between my first show in 2012 and moving to the Golden State, I've had the priviledge of enjoying several roles from a community stage in Louisiana, a few stages in Texas, and (briefly) a small stage in New York. I have grown to love performing more and more in that time, but I also fell in love with something else along the way.

Featured are Victoria's final two directed shows: Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella in 2023 (top) and A Christmas Carol in 2022 (bottom)

A surprise that I wasn't expecting was the blessing to serve as creative director at the youth community theatre that I loved in high school. Within my time there, I directed/assisted in the teams of five full shows, one summer show workshop, and the non-profit's first production of a 24HR Musical. Now, teaching the next generation of artists is a new passion to pair with performing.

Have a blessed day and a wonderful week!

Much love, V
