How does a lifelong passion for musical theater begin? For Sara Glancy, it all started with "The Wizard of Oz" at age five. Join us as Sara recounts her enchanting journey from watching "The Wizard of Oz" to her professional training at NYU. Discover how a year-long New Year's resolution to learn a new musical every day helped keep her artistic spirit alive amidst the hustle and bustle of New York City.
We also get a sneak peek into Sarah's new solo show, "Put Words in My Mouth," which focuses on the power of lyrics across musical theater, folk, and rock. Featuring the works of Shaina Taub, Joni Mitchell, and Stephen Sondheim, Sara shares her love of words, and how musical theatre lyrics inspire hope.
Sara Glancy (she/her) is an NYC-based actor who has performed Off-Broadway, touring, and regionally. But many of her favorite projects have been workshops and readings of thrilling new works that are not yet household names. Though her first New York Times review named her “a scene-stealing Sara Glancy,” Sara is always happiest when sharing the spotlight with a gaggle of fearless collaborators.
