Sarah Semon
Hello! My name is Sarah Semon and I have been performing since I was 8 years old. I joined the Indianapolis Children’s Choir in second grade and since then have traveled the world singing with their choirs. I began acting and dancing in middle school in plays at community theaters. It was when I attended Bishop Chatard, that all of my skills and practicing came together in their theatre department. I will be majoring in Musical Theatre and minoring in Business at Millikin University this Fall. God bless.
