Sanjana Taskar ('19) is currently in her last year of her MFA in Acting program at UNC Chapel Hill and will graduate in May. For the past three years, she has been a Resident Company Member with PlayMakers Repertory, one of North Carolina's premier and professional theatre companies on the East Coast.
Sanjana credits the UMBC Theatre department and its outstanding faculty as a cornerstone of why she wanted to continue her education in honing the craft of acting. Her cumulative experience at UMBC gave her the skills in approaching her graduate classwork with a sense of play and curiousity - and she lovingly carries the words of advice of all her undergrad professors as she embarks on each project.
Sanjana's last show in grad school was the world premiere of Bekah Brunstetter's (NBC's This Is Us; Broadway's The Notebook) The Game - a comedy about a woman's journey in navigating her misgivings about marriage, friendships, and video games. Sanjana plans to move to New York City - but hopes to return to the DMV often to continue to work in its vibrant theatre scene.
