About Sara Vickruck:

Sara Vickruck (They/Them) is an award winning queer, multi-disciplinary performer, host, musician, song writer, sound designer, and creator currently living on the unceded territories of the Halkomelem speaking peoples. They work both on screen, and on stage in many venues across the country. Sara is a Jessie Richardson award winner and an Equity and Stage West 2020 Emerging Artist award winner. You may know them from the critically acclaimed show Polly Queer Love Ballad, a slam poetry musical, as Mercutio from Bard on the Beaches’ Romeo and Juliet, or perhaps as part of the band The Quarantettes. 

Something they are loving right now is building a future with their partner. One thing they wish to have more of in their life is writing and performing music, cause it feels so good. The practice of acting, singing, and creating is important to them because it continues to remind them to return to themselves and confront the things that get in the way of loving themselves and others. 

Sara studied Musical theatre at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton. They have and still do train privately with many acting coaches in Vancouver, such as Scott Swan, and mentored under Mischelle Cuttler in sound design.

Some of their music is available on your streaming services, and The Quarantettes can be found on band camp.
