Montana Lampert Hoover (she/they) is an Actor, Singer, Writer, and Puppeteer. She was born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in Champaign-Urbana, IL, and lived her formative years back in the BK.

She has been a theater kid from a young age, going to see plays and musicals with her parents (who are both "in the business"). They quite literally played on the set of Cats when they were 3 and were terrified of the costumes when there weren't people in them.

Montana has worked with acclaimed theater companies like American Slavery Project, Letter of Marque Theater Company, The Kitchen Theatre Company and NYC Fringe Festival, to name a few. They also supply the voice and movement for Teddy in the hit YouTube series Queer Kid Stuff, a webseries about LGBTQ+ issues for kids of all ages. Montana has been nominated for a Syracuse Area Live Theater (SALT) Award (Hand to God by Robert Askins) for Best Supporting Actress and for a Broadway World Award for Best Actress in a Professional Theatre Production (Better by Michelle Carter).

Montana studied at Sarah Lawrence College and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts: Concentration in Theater. While she was at SLC she had the benefit of studying at the British American Drama Academy in London, UK for a whole year, where she got the bulk of her training in Shakespeare, High Comedy and Contemporary Physical Theater.

Montana was a competitive swimmer for 13 years. She is in process of writing a “Coming of Age” Feature entitled HERE GOES NOTHING.
