Sarah is an actress and comedian based in L.A. She first began performing as a singer, having
been classically trained and then familiarized in the ways of all things Streisand-y and show tune-y.
She then received her actor training at A.C.T. in San Francisco and at California Institute of the Arts,
where she earned a B.F.A. in Acting. Sarah has been seen on stages in Los Angeles, the Northern
California Bay Area, Chicago and Europe. She has performed at the renowned Volksbuhne Theatre
in Berlin, Germany, The Audimax in Aachen, Germany, Le Consortium Art Center in France,
Chicago's Trapdoor Theatre - where she earned a Best Actress Joseph Jefferson Award nomination -
and at the acclaimed Celebration Theatre in West Hollywood.
Sarah won the Best Actress Award at Chicago IndieFest for her role as the fast-talking Donna in the
film, Dreammaker and can be seen as the dry witted Karen in the cult comedy Courting Courtney
along with Dana Gould, Julia Sweeney and Kathy Griffin. You can watch her in the largely
improvised mockumentary. Change Your Life!, where she gets funny and frisky with Ugly Betty's
Tony Plana and catch her in her recurring role as Mrs. Anderson on In Gayle We Trust, the NBC
web series created by Brent Forrestor (The Office).
As a stand up comic, Sarah can be seen all over, including The Comedy Store, The Improv, The Ice
House, The Laugh Factory and many other venues that serve fried food and charge a two drink
minimum. Audiences enjoy Sarah’s energetic, playful style whether she’s recounting the joys of her
sex life, talking back to the voice inside her head, battling jazz-hand-wielding cats or assessing the
merits of being a "glass half full" type of person in a "glass half empty" type of world.
Sarah is also the creator of Comedy Karma, meditation/writing workshops for comics, performers
and storyetllers of all kinds.
She's a proud Irene Ryan Acting Award winner, does a darned good Ethel Merman impression and
can do a crying baby that will completely freak you out. See where all that voice training comes in
handy?
