Hi, I’m Saron [pronounced SAH-rone]—an Eritrean-American artist who believes in the power of storytelling to shape identity, bridge cultures, and spark connection.

Growing up between worlds gave me a global lens—one that sees theater as a meeting ground for history, mythology, and lived experience. I’m drawn to stories that amplify underrepresented voices, challenge expectations, and build community. Whether diving into classical texts or developing new work, I seek out storytelling that surprises, disrupts, and transforms.

I earned my MFA in Classical Acting from George Washington University, where I was honored with the Leslie Jacobson Theatre Pedagogy Fellowship and the Emerging Classical Artists’ Merit Fellowship. Before that, I studied History at American University, where I fell in love with layered narratives and the questions they raise onstage.

My performance journey has brought me to companies like Shakespeare Theatre Company, Folger Theatre, Everyman Theatre, Avant Bard, Mosaic, Solas Nua, and Washington National Opera—telling stories in grand spaces and intimate rooms alike. Each project is a chance to connect, explore, and grow.

Beyond acting, I’ve embraced many corners of the creative process—working as a director, assistant director, production assistant, stage manager, acting coach, and young performers supervisor. I’m especially passionate about arts education and inclusive practices that empower artists to bring their full selves to the work.

When I’m not on stage, you’ll find me exploring museums, hiking, searching for the best scoop of ice cream, journaling, enjoying live music, or getting lost in old bookstores. I’m always seeking new places to travel, quiet sunrises to sit with, and quality time with the people I love. These everyday rituals feed my artistry and keep me rooted in joy, wonder, and gratitude.
