Sarah Arikian: News

Hi All! I have some new video up that was done at the Cabaret Showcase with Seth Bisen-Hersh. There are two numbers which I hope you'll enjoy. I am contemplating a solo cabaret show....

Well, I have been very busy the past several months. Tackling the New York theater auditions is a full time job in and of itself, but I've also been putting in hours onset at CBS's The Good Wife and USA Network's Royal Pains.
I am excited to participate in a Cabaret Showcase at Don't Tell Mama with Seth Bisen-Hersh on August 24 at 7pm! Check out my calendar page for more information.
Also, check out my photo gallery for the picture of The Dickens' Carollers with President Obama and First Lady Michelle!

Well, the run of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" is almost done. This has been an amazing experience for me. Our show has the honor of being the second best selling show in Show Palace history! The cast was wonderful. It was an honor to work with such professional and delightful people.
Now, it is time to get back to New York and auditions!

I am currently in Florida rehearsing "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" at The Show Palace Dinner Theatre. To say that the role of Milly is a challenge is an understatement. However, it is one about which I am confident and excited. My fellow cast members are all brilliant, and I know we are going have an great run.

I had an amazing time performing at a White House Holiday Party with The Dickens Victorian Carollers. Not only did we have free reign to perform throughout the public rooms of the White House, but we were delighted to meet both President Obama and First Lady Michelle. It was a most memorable experience.

So, the Christmas Season is upon us, and I have been busy with the Dickens Victorian Carollers. This year we have the honor of being invited to sing at The White House! We will be performing at a private party on December 20th.
It is hard to imaging that I leave for Florida in a little over a week! I am really looking forward to working on Seven Brides For Seven Brothers with The Show Palace Dinner Theatre, and think it will be a very rewarding experience.

I am excited to announce that I will be playing the role of Milly in Show Palace Dinner Theatre's production of  Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!  The show goes up January 8, 2010!

I have recently recorded three songs with guitarist Chad Coe that are up on my site. I am very excited about the results of this collaboration with Chad and am very proud of these recordings. I consider these works to be a beautiful representation of my hard work over the past year and a half and feel that they showcase my versatility as a performer. Please check them out!

The film I worked on with writer/producer/actor Rebecca Jupiter has been accepted into another film festival. The screening at The Valley Film Festival will take place on Friday October 2 at 7:30 at the El Portal Theater in North Hollywood.

Hello All! I am excited to announce the premiere of "All Dressed Up" a diligent films production. It will be having it's premiere as part of the Dances With Films Festival in LA on Monday, June 8th at 5pm.
Written, produced and starring my friend Rebecca Jupiter, "All Dressed Up" follows Daphne in her search for romance. I play Sarah, a friend of Daphne's, who tries to play matchmaker. Take a look at the trailer at www.alldressedupmovie.com

I am having new headshots taken by Kelsey Bennett. I am very excited to be photographed by this up and coming photographer. Check out her work at her website. www.kelseybennett.com

Well, I have been keeping myself busy so far this year. I participated in a workshop with casting director Bob Cline for six weeks back in Feb./March. It was an amazing experience, and I had a chance to meet and learn from some fantastic performers. I am working on a lot of new material suggested by Bob that I hope to have up and running for auditions soon.
At the suggestion of some friends, I have started working to put a film reel together. Once the editing is completed I will post a link to my reel on this website.
I also had my first experience as a movie extra this past week working on "Did You Hear About The Morgans?" with Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant. I will be one of the blurry figures in the background of the Cancer Benefit scene. I know... not very glamorous but hey, I got paid to spend a few hours in the same room as SJP and Hugh. Look for the movie in December 2009.
That is all I have to report thus far.

Well, NYMF is over and it's time for the next thing.
I am currently doing a Thanksgiving themed Children's show at Long Island's Broadhollow Theatre for the month of November.
December is going to full of performances with The Dicken's Victorian Carolers. I love, love, love performing with this group. I will post any public performances in my calendar section of the site. There is a link to the website of The Dicken's Victorian Carolers in the "Links" section. If you, or anyone you know needs a professional caroling group for your holiday function please contact me.

I am excited to announce that I will be performing in "Villa Diodati", which will be presented by the 2008 New York Musical Theatre Festival. We will be opening on September 22 at the 45th Street Theater.
