Brooke Hoover

Brooke is a Baton Rouge, Louisiana native where her first claim to stage was portraying "Lazy Mary" in Kindergarten. But as a Leo with a Gemini moon and Gemini rising, Brooke has been anything but a lazy Mary - rigorous trampoline rehearsals lead to dance performances to the tunes of Paula Abdul which only her Pomeranian and Peek-a-Poo attended. That soon landed Brooke and some neighborhood friends greater audiences who watched the girls re-enact the final scene from "Dirty Dancing". Enough with the childhood stuff. You get the point: Brooke was a wacky kid, like most kids are, with a lot of energy and a dream.

Brooke received her B.F.A. in Acting and a French minor from Long Island University at C.W. Post. While in college she also had the opportunity to study in Avignon, France and perform an original piece in the celebrated Festival d'Avignon. Her Honor's Thesis, Samuel Beckett's "Oh! Les Beaux Jours" ("Happy Days") got her an Irene Ryan Nomination at Kennedy Center's American College Theatre Festival, where she became a semi-finalist (she thanks the infamous lettuce scene from Durang's "Titanic").

Since arriving in New York, Brooke's autobiographical one-woman show "Wayward Souls" was accepted into United Solo Artists Theatre Festival and performed at Theatre Row under the direction of Brian Sanford Lady and advice of playwright Nick Robideau - the same team that is assisting development with her next one-woman show, "Phat girl Costumes." She also stars in her own web-series, "Pageant Pom Mom", based on her sketch character Rowena Singh and inspired by her senior rescue Pomeranians, Precious and Kibbles, produced under her production company Fluffy Butt Productions.
