Hi! My name is Sara Sinasohn, and I’ve been in theatre for as long as I can remember. I performed in my first show at the age of five, playing a Little Who in the Ruth Asawa School of the Arts’ production of Seussical. From that moment, I was hooked. Later in the year, I performed with the Young People’s Teen Musical Theatre Company (YPTMTC) in a fairytale review titled Once Upon a Broadway, where I played a starstruck “Sara” amazed by all of the magical characters surrounding me. A couple years later, I began my time with the San Francisco Arts Education Project (SFArtsED), where I performed in six shows: Bells are Ringing, Li’l Abner, Sittin’ on a Rainbow, How to Succeed in Business without Really Trying, Carnival!, and Seussical. I played Horrible Henry in Carnival!, and Mayzie La Bird in Seussical.
After a successful run with SFArtsED, I joined YPTMTC as a teen company member. I started with Snoopy, where I played Lucy, continued on with Sister Act, where I played Mother Superior, then did West Side Story, where I played Graziella, and most recently did The Little Mermaid, where I played Aquata, and had my first choreographing experience. I was the tap choreographer for Positoovity, which I had an absolute blast with. I was also set to play Violet in 9 to 5, but it was cancelled due to the pandemic.
At my high school, Lowell High School, I am a massive part of the theatre community. I have performed in Daughters of Atreus, Sweeney Todd, Peter/Wendy, Comedy of Errors, where I played Duke and Dr. Pinch, and The Grand Finale, a revue of scenes, monologues, songs, and speeches, where I was a featured singer. In 2020, I was cast as Rapunzel in Into the Woods, but the performance was cancelled due to the pandemic. Most recently, I ended my high school career playing Theseus in A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.
I am currently headed to SUNY Cortland to pursue a BFA in Musical Theatre.
I have been dancing for fourteen years, and dancing at Star Dance Studio for thirteen. Over my many years of dance, I have taken tap for fourteen years, ballet for twelve years, jazz for twelve years, hip hop for two years, lyrical for two years, and contemporary for three years. I was also in the dance company for two years, and was a class demonstrator for two years, and an assistant teacher for one year. I also take dance at Lowell High School. In recent years, I have found choreographing dance pieces to be a passion of mine. Beginning in 2021, I began working as a choreographer for Linda Bulgo’s Musical Productions, a San Francisco youth theatre group. I choreographed their January 2022 production of Aladdin Jr, and their May 2022 production of Willy Wonka Kids, both of which were incredibly rewarding experiences that taught me a lot and expanded my abilities as a choreographer and dancer.
It is said that at the same time I began talking, I was singing. I joined many school choirs, and joined the San Francisco Glee Kids, an extracurricular choir group in 2013, and I continued singing with them for five years. In 2019, I began taking private vocal lessons with G. Scott Lacy, who I continue to worked with until 2022. I have expanded my vocal range and strength, and am a proud alto, mezzo soprano, and soprano, with a range of roughly F3 – D6.
