- Suzanne Savoy was born in Wilmington, Delaware, and grew up in the small town of St. Jean d'Iberville, near Montreal. She studied design at the National Theatre School of Canada and worked as a costume designer in Canada and the U.S. After moving to Houston in her late twenties and being inspired by a chance encounter with Helen Hayes, Savoy embarked on a career in acting, sitting in on classes at University of Houston, studying at the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain, HB Studios, the Atlantic Theatre, Upright Citizens Brigade, and elsewhere in NYC and Houston. She has appeared in many featured and starring roles in film and on TV and has performed onstage at The Alley Theatre, The Houston Shakespeare Festival, The Dallas Theatre Center, and others. She also has had a thriving voice-over career in commercials and animation. Savoy co-founded Mercury Studio in Houston, which provided on-camera training for actors from 1986 to 2005. Moving to Manhattan with her daughter following divorce, Ms. Savoy became a mainstay of The Shakespeare Project in New York City, variously performing, designing sets, costumes, and puppets, and creating and running TSP's education program over a period of nine years. After a hiatus from film and TV while raising her daughter, she resumed her work on-screen. Savoy curates and hosts a short-story reading series for adults through the Lewes Public Library in Delaware and translates and performs fifteenth-century French poetry. Her solo show, Je Christine, presents the works of Medieval French author Christine de Pizan and has toured universities and other venues since 2017.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
