Biography
Sarah Scott Davis is a mid-west beauty, whose strong theatrical background supports her conviction to step into anyone's shoes and bring their story to life.
Born in Illinois, and raised in Boston and New York City, Sarah's fascination with creating characters began when she landed her first role in the elementary school play, "Pippin". As she grew, so did her talent. In high school, Sarah won three Best Actress awards in the Boston Globe Theater Competition, for her roles in Rimers of Eldritch and Wings.
She went on to study at New York University, Boston University, Alvin Ailey Repertory Dance Co., and with Larry Moss and Tony Greco.
Bringing an organic theatricality to every performance, Sarah was cast in over 14 theater productions in the United States and Europe combined. Her life experiences and authentic approach have led her to land diverse roles ranging from Othello in Othello, to the NYC National Tour of For Colored Girls, to Paris as a blues singer in Nostalgia Forgetting/
Desire and finally landing on Broadway as the understudy in August Wilson's Two Trains Running, directed by the legendary Lloyd Richards.
Sarah landed the starring role in Flyin' West at the prestigious San Diego Repertory Theater.
