	Actors - Sarah Rudinoff

Sarah Rudinoff (born August 26, 1971) is an American actress, singer, and writer. She the recipient of a 2004 Genius Award from the Seattle, Washington alternative weekly newspaper The Stranger.

Born in Alexandria, Virginia and raised on the island of Kauai, Rudinoff, a self-described "half-Episcopalian, half-Jew" has lived and worked in a number of North American cities. She has appeared in Negative Space and Richard Foreman's Ontological Hysteric in New York City and in several new plays at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles; as of 2006 she is based in Seattle. Described by David-Edward Hughes of Talkin' Broadway, as "a big-boned, whiskey voiced stunner" , she has appeared mostly in fringe theater, but has appeared in at least one mainstream production, the musical Smokey Joe's Cafe at Seattle's 5th Avenue Theatre in autumn 2004. More typical work has included several stage productions of Hedwig and the Angry Inch
and her solo shows Broad Perspective (1998), Go There (2003) or The Last State (2004), a piece about growing up haole in Hawaii.

In presenting her the Genius Award, Sean Nelson of The Stranger wrote that she "is one of maybe 10 performers in town who have achieved the distinction of local stardom in non-rock-band live performance. She sings like a demon, equally comfortable belting rock, jazz, or blues... Rudinoff is not the kind of actress who 'disappears' into the roles she plays. She's the kind of actress who explodes out of her roles with heroic, instinctive, and fearless performances." The rival Seattle Weekly named her "Best Woman in Man's Clothing" for her title role in Ubu, Ki Gottberg’s reworking of Alfred Jarry's Ubu plays.
