Bio

Sabrina Kalman was born and raised on Long Island in the little town of New Hyde Park (or as she likes to say, "just thirty minutes outside the city"- because it sounds cooler.) She was brought into this world by a musician/singer/songwriter and a singer/actress so it was pretty much inevitable that she would soon fall in love with theatre. Sabrina is, in no particular order, a dancer, actress, and a singer. She began performing at the age of 3 in her living room where she would reenact a one women rendition of Bye Bye Birdie, everyday, at around 3 o'clock. Since then she has gone on to perform in slightly larger venues such as her school auditorium. One day, after she has graduated college of course, she will perform on Broadway and in Film. She believes positivity and optimism are the keys to survival.


So, why you may ask would a person choose such an precarious, difficult, and quit crazy career? It's not the obvious answer; love. Although it is true, Sabrina does indeed have a love for performing. Though the reason is quit hard for her to articulate, she likes to say, "because it's my only shot at happiness". Another way to put it is, "you know when you hold your breath for a long time and then just as you think you're going to burst you suck in all the air you possibly can? It feels so good. It's kind of like that." Sabrina believes that people become artists to answer 2 questions: One, who am I? And two, what is the meaning of life? Somehow, it all boils down to happiness. After all if you're happy, truly happy that is (there are lots of ways to fake happiness) you have either answered those 2 questions, or have found peace in the fact that you may never will. Happiness. It's a very important word for Sabrina. It is why she makes art and it is what she hopes her art will be. If her art can somehow, make someone happy, even if it's for a mere hour or two, than she will consider herself a success.

Performing isn't the only thing that makes Sabrina happy. She also enjoys writing, painting, photography, and playing the guitar. Her back up plan (if the whole Broadway/movie thing doesn't work out) is to be a singer songwriter. Not the most dependable plan B but what's the fun in that? Sabrina is extremely lucky in the fact that she can follow her dreams, because she has some amazing people supporting her. Her fan club, for lack of a better word, includes her parents and her sister. As corny as it may sound, they are also her artistic inspiration and largest influences. Their work, and their approach to their work is something that Sabrina strives to emulate.
