Sarah Foret (Sophie) grew up throughout the south but is a Louisiana native. Classically trained in ballet for nine years, Sarah found theatre at the age of 12. Or maybe it found her? She immediately fell in love with the craft of acting and at 17, after an early graduation, moved to California to pursue her dream. After many wonderful experiences, including CSI: NY, Gilmore Girls, Beautiful People, Moonlight and The Mentalist to name a few, sprinkled with some independent films, she found herself missing what drew her to acting in the first place...the stage. After two months in New York last year, with a lead in Circus Theatrical’s Harm's Way on 42nd Street, she came back ready to tackle her next project. She is thrilled to give a voice to the amazingly written 'Sophie' and be a part of such a beautiful piece of work such as He Asked for It. Next, you can look for her in Lost Dream beside Michael Welch and Shaun Sipos.
