Hi, I'm Sarah, and thank you for visiting my professional acting website. I just started a new theatre company, so please check it out: Manhattan Shakespeare Project. I am currently an MFA Acting Candidate at Columbia University. I received my BFA in Drama from Tisch School of the Arts at New York University, where I attended the Playwrights Horizons Theatre School studio. I have also worked with the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London in their Shakespeare in Performance course, and the National Theatre Conservatory in Denver in their Summer Intensive.
I moved from New York, and lived in Minnesota for about two and a half years doing mostly children's theatre. I worked with the 2003 Tony award-winning Children's Theatre Company for a season, and I toured several times, to many places, with The National Theatre for Children. I also had the distinct pleasure of working with Outward Spiral, The St. Croix Festival Theatre, and the MN Public Interest Research Group. In October of 2003 I moved to sunny California where I worked for two seasons as a company member with the California Theatre Center. I then continued my children's theatre career for two seasons with the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival. I also had the wonderful opportunity to work with the California Shakespeare Theatre on their production of Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well (where I started my Equity Membership Candidacy). I have worked with Impact Theatre, Thrillpeddlers, Renegade Theatre Experiment, Center REP, Pear Avenue Theatre, Calaveras Rep, Ragged Wing Ensemble, The Western Stage, Playhouse West, Subterranean Shakespeare, Spare Stage, and Brookside Repertory Theatre.
I am a company member and Assistant Education Director of Woman's Will – the San Francisco Bay Area's all-female Shakespeare Company. I was also a company member of several long and short form improv troupes including Tilted Frame SF – the internet-based tech-savvy improv group, Middle School Poetry, and have been having a wonderful time as a guest artist with the improv podcast company RadioStar Network.
I am very excited to be back in the city that never sleeps, taking classes with Kristin Linklater, Anne Bogart, Andrei Serban, and a host of other wonderful professors.
I am fun loving, imaginative, creative, and all my report cards say "gets along well with others". I have an extensive background in musical theatre, Shakespeare, and film and television work. I love being challenged, and love trying new and exciting ideas. I also love teaching. I have taught and directed, at the elementary and high school levels, improvisation, acting, voice, movement, and all aspects of Shakespeare with Solano Youth Theatre, San Francisco Shakespeare Festival, Marin Shakespeare Company, California Shakespeare Theatre, TheatreWorks, Leap…Imagination in Learning, and many others.
I can be quirky and ready with a corny joke anytime. I am also a very hard worker and will always give my best to every production. It would be a pleasure to work with you, and your company.
Thank you very much for your time. Enjoy!
