It is not a well kept secret that Sarah Denhart LOVES theater. Honestly, I truly always have. I remember sitting in my sisters 2nd grade production of Cinderella and just aching to run up there and join in. And that just lit the fire that became my true passion. Little did I know there was more to that passion. Freshman year of high school, I was in a production of Wizard of Oz and bored out of my mind. I volunteered to help the costume crew because I knew how to sew. I was lit with the smae firey passion. I had discovered a true talent.
From that day on, costumes were my first choice for theatrical involvement. Yes, I loved being on stage, and yes, I really enjoyed being recognized by theater goers. But, truly, nothing was more amazing to me than costumes.
I had always had an affinity for sewing. My grandma taught me as a little girl. Costuming gave me a way to marry two loves together to make for one complete love. Not to mention, I was really good at it, even as a freshman in high school stitching for my first show.
I continued to hone my work over the course of high school. I entered two costume constructions into the Ohio State Thespian Festival and achieved excellent marks and the opportunity to compete at the International Festival. Truly highlights of my costuming career.
Beyond that, I have stitched on 25 shows in 7 years and have recently assistant designed for Xavier Theater’s Next to Normal. see trailer here.
