I Am A...

Fan, Actor, Singer, Dancer, Student

About Me:

My name is Sarah, I'm 4' 11", I'm 18, and am an incoming musical theatre freshman at the Boston Conservatory. I have a huge passion for musical theatre and for straight theatre and for everything related in between! I was the winner of the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award for Best Female Principle Actress for Annie (2003), and have worked with professional theatre companies such as Berkeley Reperatory Theatre. The last musical I did was "The Wizard of Oz" with the Moutain Play Association in 2008 as Dorothy. I most recently played "Poncia" in my high school's theatre company's production of "The House of Bernarda Alba" When I'm not in school or performing I fill my schedule with lessons and coaching, and am an assistant coach for birthday parties at a gymnastics center in my neighborhood.
