Sarah Grace Hart

**Sarah Grace Hart** (born September 14th,1991) is an American actress known for her film work and contributions to Shipwrecked Comedy. With Shipwrecked, she has helped costume, produce, and act in many of their projects.

## Life

Sarah was born in Rochester, New York on September 14th, 1991. She grew up in Columbia, Maryland with her younger brother, Alex, and parents. In her childhood and teen years Sarah participated in dance, competitive cheer, and pageants. Sarah also got her first taste of acting while in her teens.

   After graduating high school, she went on to attend college at Kent State University and graduate. Then, Sarah moved to New York and eventually to LA in 2013 to follow various internships, apprenticeships, and her career in acting. On her first day in LA, she visited the Griffith Observatory park. To carry on the tradition, she grabs a coffee and visists the observatory on her LA aniversary each year.

Shortly after moving to LA, Sarah met Sinéad Persaud and became involved with Shipwrecked Comedy. Eventually, Sarah moved in with Sinéad and Alex Ovadia (dubbed "The Bates Ladies"). Since then, Sarah's involvement with Shipwrecked has grown more present. In January 2021, The Bates Ladies had to stop living together due to their lease ending. Now, Sarah lives with her sweet puppy named Josie.

## Education

Sarah graduated from Kent State University with a Bachelors in Science & Fashion Merchandising/Marketing in May 2013.

She also has been apart of multiple internships and apprenticeships for fashion related causes. Her first internship in New York City was with *Town and Country Magazine*.

## Shipwrecked Comedy

In 2013, Sarah Grace Hart found herself in an acting class with Sinéad Persaud. During this time, Sinéad mentioned working on *A Tale Tale Vlog* and Sarah became interested in Shipwrecked Comedy.

The night before *Kissing in the Rain* was going to be filmed, Sarah made her project debut (and Emily Dickinson debut) with the group in the short "Emily Dickinson's Guide to Spending the Holidays Alone". The short was a mix between a script that had been typed earlier that day and Sarah's improv skills. She did her own hair for the shoot, and the costume was an outfit Yulin Kuang owned in her "chest of goodies". In the following days after the short, Sarah helped with set costuming for *Kissing in the Rain*. She was excited about helping with the costumes because she loves anything dealing with wardrobe.

Then, during the *Edgar Allan Poe's Murder Mystery Dinner Party*'s Kickstarter campaign in 2016, she became a full fledged member of the group. With this project, she helped with the kickstarter, produced, worked on wardrobe, and reprised the role of Emily Dickinson! She makes an appearance on the Shipwrecked Comedy Podcast episode 307 and, among other things, discusses reprising the role. Because of her role in Poe Party, Sarah has now put up with countless #pooremily jokes. But, in the end, no one could ever forget Sarah's wonderful performance and all her help with this project.

In 2017, Shipwrecked came out with their noir-inspired short film *The Case of the Gilded Lily*. Sarah once again helped with the kickstarter, producing, and wardrobe! In Gilded Lily, Sarah played the role of young starlet Wilhelmina Vanderjetski. Whilly is a stark contrast to the role of Emily Dickinson. Whereas Emily was often forgotten about and spoke little, Whilly is the reason that the plot exists in Gilded Lily, and she talks to everyone about everything in her life. The difference between these two characters helps show off the range of Sarah's acting, which, in later productions, has also been showcased time and time again. Wilhelmina is also set to return in Shipwrecked's *The Case of the Greater Gatsby*, which is an audio drama narative podcast set to release in 2023.

In recent years, Sarah has continued to hold producing and wardrobe roles. She also helps with kickstarters and has been known to help sort out Shipwrecked's taxes. In recent projects she played Fiona (who sent scandalous pictures to her relatives) in "American Whoopee", Meg March (the eldest sister) in "Little VVomen", and Devin (who is missing her IBS medicine) in "A Book By Its Cover". Sarah is also the host of Shipwrecked's first Patreon exclusive series *Petticoats to Peplum* where she talks about fashion throughout the ages.

Most recently, she plays the part of Lucretia Lazenby in *Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story*. Lucretia is the owner of the local lodging known as Storms Inn. She's recently moved to town and participates in Colonial Drugs 'N' Stuff's Trivia Nights. Over the course of the series, we learn that Lucretia used to be an international Superspy alongside Paulie Tahoe, and her real name is Oksana Bolshekov. However, she later was put under Witness Protection Program and now lives unhappily in Sleepy Hollow. Additionally, Sarah was the Wardrobe Supervisor and a producer for Headless.

On March 10th, 2023, it was announced that Sarah would be stepping away from her duties as a producer at Shipwrecked Comedy. The change was due to personal and career changes.

Sarah is also known for her sweet and frequent interactions with fans on social media.

## Other Projects
