Zoe Yeoman
Zoë Yeoman made her professional acting debut at the age of 16, at Kings Hall in Heidelberg, Germany, in a production of Godspell. Since then she's worked in most of the major markets across the United States. She was raised by an Air Force enlisted man and her Mother was a civil servant, eventually retiring from the Pentagon as Chief of Logistics. Her family always took advantage of travel; she's lived or traveled through most of the United States and much of Europe.
A working actor and a member of Actor's Equity and SAG/AFTRA and, at times Producer and Director, some of Zoë's favorite theater roles include Lisa Kron in Well, Ruth Steiner in Donald Margulies' Collected Stories, Dr. Vivian Bearing in Wit, and as Haley Walker in Theresa Rebeck's Bad Dates. She originated the role of Margaret in James Riordon's award winning play, Apollo Redux, and played dual roles in the Washington, D.C. premiere of Emma's Child, for Horizons' Theater.
On film, Zoë most has appeared in short and feature films, The Five Cent Curve and in All About You, directed by auteur Christine Swanson. Starring roles include Vanessa in Carrots and Onions and K.K.Kettering in the short film, Creole Lady Angelle. She recently was cast in festival favorite, Raising Buchanan, written and directed by Bruce Dellis and M.E.C.C.A.-The Film and The Tiny House Movie.
On Television, you've seen Zoë in episodes of Law & Order: Special Victims' Unit, David E. Kelley's The Practice; Strong Medicine, The Drew Carey Show and the ABC Sitcom, Rodney. She earned her Equity card with "the best understudy performance in 20 years" at the Kennedy Center/Eisenhower Theatre in Washington, D.C., (during a run of The Magic Fire, produced in conjunction with and by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and directed by Libby Appel). Production and Directing credits include One-Act plays, short films and theatrical productions for the Arizona Women's Theatre Company's, Pandora Festival.
Zoë is the athletic type, enjoying every major sport; especially Baseball. She is an avid Golfer and has played courses from the Bay Area to Scottsdale, Arizona to Williamsburg, Virginia. Having learned to Ski in the Austrian Alps, she has skied the Alps of Europe and the Eastern and Western slopes of the United States. She also rides horses and recently gave up her beautiful APHA 16.2h gelding, Zoe's Situation Comedy (AKA Rolling!) so that he could have the life he deserves by trailering, mountain and streams rides through Flagstaff, AZ. An avid collector of antique furniture and 20th Century Modern Art, Zoë has visited most of the major museums and cathedrals of Europe, adding a few more during a recent trip to Greece, Italy and Turkey.
Her two Standard Poodles, Pale Ale, and Porter are the lights of her life. Her Shih Tzu, Barley Wine rounds out her beer-named Pups. A true gear head, she drives a 1977 Lincoln Continental Mark V among other things and looks forward to getting her '67 Honda CB-450 back on the road very shortly.
Ms. Yeoman was on the Board of Directors of the Friars' Club of California and is a past president of the Arizona Women's Theatre Company. She's a member of the Santa Fe chapter of The Hamptons Table and Women in Film.
