2023

Sarah McKibbin is an emerging musical theatre performer originally from the small town of Kemptville, Ontario. She is a graduate of St Lawrence College’s Music Theatre Performance program, and recently earned a Bachelors of Performing Arts from Atlantic Technological University (formerly IT Sligo) in Sligo, Ireland.

She is a very versatile vocalist with 13 years of training ranging from classical arias to contemporary musical theatre, although she is particularly fond of anything folk, rock, or blues.

Sarah has had experience working on new Canadian musicals such as Going Under and Theory of Relativity (David Connolly, Heather Braaten); creating and devising the original piece Manifest: A Collective Creation (Heather Braaten) – for which she helped write & arrange original music – and reimagining the Sondheim revue Marry Me A Little (Liz Gilroy) for a post-pandemic world. She also has experience in the creation and management of a production company (Phoenix Productions) along with her peers at St. Lawrence. Together, they wrote, developed, staged and starred in the new musical Under The Fig Tree, a contemporary folk musical based on Sylvia Plath’s semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar. Sarah is eager to continue developing her skills as a young musician and artist, and she is excited to take part in new and imaginative projects as her career progresses.
