Sarah Mass is an actor and educator originally from Atlanta, Georgia. Since receiving her BA in Theatre from Boston College, Sarah has worked predominately in regional theatre, performing everything from Beckett to Brecht to brand-new plays… not to mention a whole lot of Shakespeare.
Sarah’s current theatrical homebase is Pasadena Playhouse, where she has used her decade of experience as a teaching artist to help the iconic institution build their brand-new Education Department. Sarah continues to develop and execute Tony-Award-Winning quality theatre education programs at the Playhouse, for students at every stage of life - from kindergartners to lifelong learners.
Sarah’s trademark teaching style uses her skills as a performer to teach young people the art of story-telling, how to work as an ensemble, and how to express themselves creatively. You can take a look at the rest of her work as a teaching artist here.
Sarah comes from a musical theatre background, and is a trained singer, dancer, and musician. She began digging deeper into the craft of acting as a teen, and has studied at institutions such as the British American Drama Academy in London, Commonwealth Shakespeare Company in Boston, MA, the University of North Carolina School for The Arts, and more. She is a self-taught guitarist and writes songs as a hobby. She can make you a killer mix-tape, and wants to go check out that band with you!
She loves to devise, collaborate, and experiment with other artists, and sincerely wants her art to make a difference in other people’s lives. She believes in the importance of using her power as an actor/creator to tell stories that have gone untold. She is especially passionate about bringing the female experience into the spotlight, and seeks work that will empower her and other women.
Sarah also believes in having fun and in taking her work, but not herself, too seriously! :)
Sarah lives in South Pasadena, California.
