Stephanie Bleakley:
Growing up in Toronto allowed Stephanie Bleakley to be immersed in the arts from a young age. Stephanie attended Rosedale Heights School of the Arts, where she solidified her passion for performance before pursuing Musical Theatre at St. Clair College. After graduating, Stephanie was drawn to the other side of the table. She got her start in the industry working for Casting Directors John Buchan and Jason Knight. During this time, she gained experience working on Film and TV projects such as Stockholm, The Mist, Imposters, Killjoys, and Anon. This opportunity allowed Stephanie to develop her eye for talent and understanding of the biz. Through casting, she fell in love with the incredible roster at Amanda Rosenthal Talent, and the women driving the agency. With a pension for cheering on performers, Stephanie made the move to ART where she grew into her role as an agent, and is now cultivating her roster.
