Susan Neuffer is an actor, singer, and musician.  She is a proud member of AFTRA.

A native of Brooklyn, Susan attended Midwood H.S. (alma mater of Woody Allen) and is also a proud alumnus of the All-City High School Chorus, then under the direction of John Motley. Susan  studied piano and classical voice and also played electric bass, and wrote for several rock bands in the 1980’s, performing at such clubs as the (in) famous C.B.G.B.’s and the Bitter End.

She earned a masters degree from Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, and save for a contribution to the school talent show, stopped performing for quite a while, while working in public service. (She’s an excellent grant writer, by the way!) A college friend encouraged her to audition for the prestigious Oratorio Society of New York, with whom she sang for three seasons, performing in concerts at Carnegie Hall and Europe. While rehearsing with the Oratorio Society at the Turtle Bay Music School, she spied a notice promoting a cabaret workshop taught by the legendary cabaret performer Helen Baldassare. Susan was soon hooked on cabaret.

After performing in showcases with Ms. Baldassare and other fabulous teachers, Susan began working with musical director Gerry Dieffenbach in 2000, and presented several solo cabaret shows all around NYC.  In 2004 and 2005, she presented a ‘70’s extravaganza entitled “Instant Karma” with a great back up band.  Susan’s taste in music is eclectic, and she loves to challenge her audiences with music that’s not often heard on cabaret stages.

Susan has been honored to contribute her talents to benefits for worthy causes around New York. She shared the stage with Natalie Douglas, Sue Matsuki, Brandon Cuttrell and others in Richard Skipper’s “Carol’s ArtsVan Benefit” and  performed with Hector Coris in the “Paul Johnson Health Care Follies”.

Susan has studied acting at the Michael Howard Studios, the Barrow Group, and John Strasberg Studios. She appeared in productions of "The Melody Lingers On: The Songs of Irving Berlin”, “Mame”, and “Fiorello!” with the St. Bart's Players, and the Bad Plays and Bad Musicals festivals, brainchildren of the fabulous Melba LaRose. Susan has since performed in dramatic works as well, garnering praise in the world premiere of Don Nigro's Tristan, and a new dramatization of Enemies, A Love Story, among others.  She's appeared in many short films, starting with Red Tape (as a really mean bureaucrat). 

Ms. Neuffer made her feature film debut in the new feature from Renart Films, Work It Out. She was delighted to have the opportunity to work with Gene Jones (No Country for Old Men), Crystal Bock (All My Children), writer-star Kevin Porter Young (The Project), and Steven Beckingham (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf).  She also appeared in the  web series Chaos Theory, and has contributed to the fake news empires of The Onion.com and College Humor TV.
