Cerra (Sara with a “C”) Cardwell is an actor, comedian and aspiring early morning riser. She is drawn to "tough to love" characters and seeks to inject heightened text (whether classical or modern) with bold physicality. Her former career as a rugby player culminated in a year on the USA training team & early onset arthritis. It is also why she is most excited by ensemble work and collaboration. Her heritage as a Middle Eastern-Italian American is to blame for her love of large portions and exaggerated storytelling. She holds an MA in Actor & Performer training from Rose Bruford College (London) and an MFA in Classical Acting from the Academy for Classical Acting (Washington DC).
