SARAH B. - IVL Theatre Academy Acting Director
Sarah Boughton is a professional actor, director, and dedicated teaching artist who has been performing since childhood. Her artistic foundations were built at the Los Angeles County High School of the Arts (LACHSA) and solidified at Syracuse University, where she earned a BFA in Acting. Sarah’s extensive career includes performing on prominent New York City stages—such as The Culture Project, The Pearl Theatre, and Altered Stages—before establishing her presence in LA and Ventura Counties.
Her LA stage credits include work with Center Theatre Group, Shakespeare Orange County, and the award-winning Son of Semele Theater in Los Angeles.

In the classroom, Sarah brings a rich, multi-disciplinary approach to teaching kids and teens. Her teaching style is heavily inspired by the playful spontaneity of Viola Spolin's theater games, the practical truthfulness of Uta Hagen's work, and the dynamic physical ensemble-building of Anne Bogart's Viewpoints.
