About
A native of Elmhurst, Illinois, Sara graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University with a BA in Theatre Arts and minors in Russian and Theatre Dance. In 2006, she traveled to Moscow through the National Theatre Institute, where she studied under the Acting Masters at the Moscow Art Theatre School.
Her approach to acting is best described as deeply rooted in movement and physicality layered with Chicago-style Meisner and a sharp tongue for Shakespeare.
