Sasha Wordlaw

In her most recent role as Marianne in The Revolutionists (The Bridge Initiative, AZ), Sasha is always excited to dig into new material for Phoenix Theatre Company’s New Works Festival. Other favorite roles include playing the Lady in The Scottsboro Boys (Phoenix Theatre Co., AZ), Pecola in The Bluest Eye, and Uhuru in Ain’t She Brave (Black Theatre Troupe, AZ). In addition to stage and commercial projects, Sasha has also played behind-the-scenes as a makeup artist and production assistant for Arizona Opera, Phoenix Theatre Company, Southwest Shakespeare Theatre, Davisson Entertainment, and Burning Suns Entertainment. No stranger to working at a variety of film festivals: Sundance, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Outfest and Filmstock, Sasha has proudly co-directed and submitted her first documentary short, Free Hearts, chronicling the journeys of women that have gone from incarceration to returned citizens reuniting with their families. Sasha is forever grateful for the support of her family and friends here in the Southwest and back home in the South.
