Sarah Chapin is thrilled and humbled to join Adventure Theatre MTC as Managing Director. Introduced to theatre in a class at her local community center, she can personally attest to the lasting impact of arts education. Originally from the DMV, she began her professional theatre career as a teenager in DC, appearing in productions at The Keegan Theatre and Studio Theatre. She graduated from Yale University with a degree in Theatre Studies, and spent her first years out of school performing professionally on stages around the world. Since 2011 she has performed with The Keegan Theatre, Studio Theatre, Signature Theatre, Virginia Stage Company, The Church (Upstate Productions, NY), The Axelrod Performing Arts Center (NJ), HERE Arts (NY), Symphony Space (NY), The York Theatre (NY), and at the ASCAP Workshop in LA. She studied internationally at the Moscow Art Theatre School and performed over fifty concerts on tour in Japan with Harmony Japan’s Disney on Classic. When not onstage, Sarah maintained a connection to education through her work preparing New York teens for academic success, her work with Broadway Artists Alliance in New York City, and as a part of the very first “Play-Rah-Kah” summer theatre camp at Keegan. She joined Signature Theatre in 2022 as a member of the Development team, building new relationships and even stronger connections to the theatre community in the DMV. She is a two-time Helen Hayes Award nominee, and is excited to continue working in the theatre community that raised her. Sarah is eager to expand access to theatre for all students, so every child that steps through the doors of Adventure Theatre feels valued, engaged, and inspired.
