ABOUT
A “storyteller of all mediums”, Sarah is a Nashville-based classically trained actor and diverse theatre maker, with a long career of exploring telling stories onstage and off – she holds MFA in Shakespeare & Performance with a concentration in Acting, as well as an MFA in Scenic Design.
Sarah is a performer, designer, author, poet, visual artist, and professor, most recently dabbling in writing and running RPG campaigns for the best class she will ever teach, Imagination & Inclusion, which explores how storytelling teaches the art of empathy.
When not on a storytelling bent, Sarah is often found hiking and exploring with her dog and partner, or making any number of costumes for cosplays and Ren Faires. Her greatest life goal would be to attend the Edinburgh Fringe Festival every year for the rest of her life.

September 2024
I’ve officially been in Nashville for two months though I’m still learning my way around. I’ve stumbled into a few consistent gigs that have made this town feel do-able in terms of staying on top of bills as well as being able to work on the chunk of student debt I’ve got from two MFAs! I’ve been working as a Simulated / Standardized Patient at Belmont University as well as some minor work in the film industry here in Nashville!
July 2024
I’m going on for a make-up rain date for one of my understudy tracks for Endstation Theatre Company’s Twelfth Night! Here’s to continuing to explore my work began in my MFA thesis on how the work of understudying intersects but doesn’t perfectly overlap with typical acting training!
June 2023
Catch me in two staged readings for Endstation Theatre Company’s Playwrights Initiative! I will be playing Beth in Patrick Earl’s The Good Birth, and Maggis in Dry Bones by Jim McManus! It’s been a joy to work with our directors, who are both MFA students here at Randolph College, as well as work with new actors and on new works after so long treading the boards at the Blackfriars Playhouse fully immersed in Early Modern plays!
