Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 18 of Season 2 of A View from the Box – The Podcast! I am incredibly honoured to have Sara Farb on the podcast with me today! 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. She played Medium Alison in Fun Home (Musical Stage/Mirvish, Dora nominee, TTCA winner); Brigid in The Humans (Canadian premiere at Citadel/Canadian Stage); and has performed all across Canada in productions at Soulpepper, Theatre Calgary, Tarragon, Theatre Passe Muraille, Segal Centre, YPT, and others. Sara and Britta Johnson's original musical Kelly v. Kelly made its world premiere in Toronto with Musical Stage and Canadian Stage, where it was nominated for many Dora Awards and won the Tom Hendry award for Outstanding New Musical. Sara and Britta's short musical, He Is Coming (Musical Stage/AGO) received a Dora nomination for best new musical. This year, two of her shows will premiere: Way Out There, an original musical with Anton Lipovetsky (music and lyrics) at YES!
