Stephen Moorer (born September 29, 1961) is a stage actor, director and producer based on the Central California Coast. He founded the only year-round professional theatre in Monterey County, GroveMont Theatre in 1982, renaming the non-profit organization Pacific Repertory Theatre in 1994, when the group acquired the Golden Bough Playhouse in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
Moorer was born in Santa Monica, California. His parents are George Edward Moorer, a retired salesman and entrepreneur, and Carrol Rothe Moorer, a nurse. When he was 11 years old, his family moved to the Monterey Peninsula. His mother acted in amateur performances in the San Fernando Valley, and Stephen got an early taste of performing in community theatre. His first principal role was Miles in The Innocents (based on The Turn of the Screw), with The Rafters Theatre Guild. Moorer attended the Carmel, California middle and high schools, becoming actively involved in the drama program, acting in and producing shows. In his senior year, he played a criminal mastermind in Wait Until Dark. From the age of 11 to 17, Moorer also studied theatre at Carmel's Children's Experimental Theatre.
After graduating from high school in 1979, Moorer appeared in a 3-show repertory season at Hartnell Summer Theatre (which was later called the Western Stage). He returned to the Children's Experimental Theatre in 1980 for a paid internship, sponsored by CETA, studying acting and theatre production. In 1982, he trained in an intensive 16-week summer season at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco.
Moorer is married to Sarah Lapré of Carmel. He was previously married to Jeanne Wooster, Mickie Mosley, and Julie Hughett, with whom he has one daughter, Claire. He has two sisters, Jacqui Hope Moorer of Monterey, and Catherine Hudson of Carmel Valley.
