Sara is a multi-award-winning performer and writer living in Toronto. This year, she makes her Shaw Festival debut as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. On Broadway, she played Delphi Diggory Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts 1 & 2, and reprised her role in the original Canadian company. Sara has appeared in seven seasons at The Stratford Festival of Canada, where she played Shakespeare’s Rosalind, Juliet, Cordelia, and Jessica, as well as many other roles including Anne Frank, and Petra in A Little Night Music.
