A Little Bit About Sarah

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 graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with my BFA in Musical Theatre, and two minors in Communications and Dance Performance.

Outside of theatre, I also work in marketing. I work with SHOUT! Marketing & Media Relations as their Marketing Assistant. Past roles include: Agency Support Intern at Shirley Hamilton, a Chicago-based talent agency; 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!

Thank you for following along!

Performance Reviews:

In Boulevard Theatre’s Cécile or the School for Fathers:

“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.”
