Do all roads lead home? Maybe they do if you’re Stephanie Courtney or her husband, Scott Kolanach. The story goes that the lucky-in-love couple both hail from the same hometown. Courtney has always read like an open book when it comes to her upbringing in Stony Point, New York, forever singing the town’s praises. “Rockland County, Stony Point, the Hudson Valley has some of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve ever seen. Gorgeous,” she once gushed to the Rockland County Times. “And full of very funny people. My mom tops that list,” she added. Meanwhile, Kolanach’s IMDb page notes that he also hails from Stony Point.
But that’s not where the similarities end. As it turns out, Kolanach also works in a somewhat similar field, though he’s more of a behind-the-scenes guy. According to his IMDb page, Kolanach is well known for his work as the director of lighting for the improvisational and sketch comedy troupe and school The Groundlings.
While not much is known about their first meeting or subsequent courtship, it’s entirely possible that the pair either met in Stony Point or at The Groundlings. In 2015, Courtney divulged to Cosmopolitan how “blown away” she was by a performance she attended at the comedy school. According to Courtney, she signed up for classes the very next day. And maybe the rest is history? Perhaps the lighting or, better yet, the lighting director also had a little something-something to do with the stars in her eyes. The world may never know.
