Episode 10 - Sarah Rose Graber

In episode 10 Louise chats to the more than a little bit impressive Sarah Rose Graber. Sarah-Rose is a performer, director, teaching artists and occasional unicorn with a fascinating resume. She's always off an exciting new creative adventure, so it was a lucky delight to catch her for a coffee and a blether.

Originally from Miami, she moved to Chicago to study theatre at Northwestern University and trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London which piqued her interest in the international theatre scene. Graber is a Circumnavigator Scholar Grant winner having traveled around the world to England, South Africa, Kenya, Mauritius, Australia, New Zealand, and Argentina exploring theatre for social change. She was awarded a prestigious US-UK Fulbright Grant in 2013 to work with professional theatre companies across the UK researching devising based practices and making interdisciplinary theatrical experiences. Sarah Rose was named “One of 15 Women to Watch” in 2015 by Today’s Chicago Woman Magazine and received the MacArthur International Connections Fund for her production of REPRISE with National Theatre of Scotland’s HOME AWAY Festival in partnership with Adventure Stage Chicago.

In the UK, Graber has worked with the National Theatre of Scotland (TIN FOREST, GRANITE, HOME AWAY, EXCHANGE 2018), Playwrights’ Studio Scotland (STAGE TO PAGE), Fuel (THE ROOF), New Inck (SCENES UNSEEN, GOLD DUST), Tron (TRON 100 FESTIVAL), the LIFT festival (TURFED), Scottish Youth Theatre (BIT BY BIT, CREATIVE SPACES, STEALING STARS), Surge (DIRTY LAUNDRY CAMPAIGN) and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (HUNTING OF THE SNARK). Hailed by the Chicago Theatre Beat as “one of the finest comedic actresses in Chicago,” Graber has worked with many US companies including Northlight Theatre, Victory Gardens, Collaboraction, Strawdog Theatre, Metropolis Performing Arts Center, Adventure Stage Chicago, the Factory Theater, and Knife & Fork.
