Sarah Mitchler

Sarah Mitchler (Matt) is thrilled to be a part of Good Egg Production’s inaugural show. Recently, she has been careening across the Park Hall stage with Mountain Community Theater as Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Annelle in Steel Magnolias, and Linda in Evil Dead: The Musical. Growing up in Santa Cruz, her theatre obsession was tolerated and refined by her parents and educators. She then pursued dual degrees in Acting and Vocal Performance at Muhlenberg College and trained at the Accademia dell’Arte in Italy along the way. She sends endless thanks to her family for their unwavering support.

Ian is primarily an actor based in Santa Cruz County, with previous work performing with Mountain Community Theater, Renegade, Actor's Theater, and more. Additionally, Ian has had some light directing experience with New Works Weekend at MCT. Ian would like to thank every member of our production team for choosing to believe that this show could happen, to Buff McKinley for being the best stage manager in the world and allowing herself to work with a first time director, and mostly he'd like to thank Sarah Mitchler and Sarah K. Michael for saying yes to this show, and for buying in from day one. There's no show without actors, and I'm incredibly fortunate these two chose every day to be a part of this one.
