Hi there!

I’m Sarah Donofrio, and I am a non-union actor, singer, dancer, and musician based in Chicago!

I was born and raised in a quaint town in the north suburbs of Chicago. I spent my first year of Musical Theatre training in college at Southeast Missouri State University, and then transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for my next three years. In Milwaukee, I fell in love with the city atmosphere and graduated with my BFA in Musical Theatre, and two minors in Communications and Dance Performance.

Outside of theatre, I also love to work in marketing. I have joined SHOUT! Marketing & Media Relations as their new Marketing Assistant. Past roles include: Agency Support Intern at Shirley Hamilton, a Chicago-based talent agency and Marketing Assistant Intern at Music Theater Works, a local non-equity theater.

In my free time, I love to read, travel, and play piano. My favorite genre of books is currently mysteries/thrillers!

Overall, I’m so thankful for the amazing opportunities and supportive community that theatre has given me, and I am so excited to continue my journey.

Thank you for following along!

Performance Reviews:

“Sarah Donofrio wields respectable cleverness about her in the title role of Cécile […] Donofrio shines quite efficiently as the young woman around which all of the rest of the action of the comedy revolves.”
