The national tour is bringing a locally-reared ensemble member, Sarah Schenkkan, who also is understudying the role of Glinda and says, in an interview with CultureMob, that she\u2019s gone on as Glinda, now, about a dozen times. Read the interview by Miryam Gordon at CultureMob.<\/p>\n

Before we delve into Sarah\u2019s history, you can keep an eye out for her in the ensemble by her costumes. \u201cI have pointy hair in the mob (scene) \u2013 my head looks like a triangle, I carry a big green umbrella in Emerald City and I wear a pink beret in the Shiz University scenes,\u201d Sarah reports. Of course, if she gets to go on as Glinda, you won\u2019t have to wonder if you can catch sight of her!<\/p>\n

We started off talking about when Sarah moved to Seattle. \u201cI moved to Seattle when I was six. My dad (the acclaimed playwright Robert Schenkkan) was doing The Kentucky Cycle here at the Intiman and that\u2019s why we moved here. I did my first play in elementary school \u2013 a play my mom (actress and voice-over artist Mary Anne Dorward) adapted. It was The Little Cloud. I wore a cardboard cloud over my dress and had the best time. I was so excited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah was hooked, but that didn\u2019t mean that she was secure in whether she\u2019d be good enough to compete in this very intense business. \u201cI never really knew for sure that I was good enough to do this. I knew I loved it and wanted to do it. That\u2019s where I felt like my heart was invested in and passionate, but I was aware of the business and it was a tough life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did some shows at Broadway Bound and I give Jimmy Nixon (founder) a lot credit for helping believe I had talent and something special. Really encouraging me to think this was something I could do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI studied voice in high school with Anne Evans. She taught a lot of local kids. I played soccer my whole life and basketball (but didn\u2019t take many dance classes). I got involved in shows at Roosevelt High School with (drama teacher extraordinaire) Reuben Van Kampen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarah is following a special trend our fair city is seeing with locally-reared theater talents going to New York and finding their way back here in national touring companies. Ryah Nixon, Jimmy Nixon\u2019s daughter, with ties to Village Theatre and the 5th Avenue (recently starring in Rent) recently participated in the tour of 9 to 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cRyah was a classmate, a bit older, but she was a person that people knew was going to be on Broadway, \u201c Sarah says. \u201cAnd she\u2019s doing that. And she always seemed so confident about where she was going.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
