Sara Kantner

Arcade Academy alum, Sara Kantner, has been making people laugh since 1988. She started her onstage comedy journey in 2015 and has performed for kids, anglophiles, and regular folks. A delightfully well-rounded comedian and person, Sara has performed with children's improv troupe Penny Arcade, written and acted in sketch shows like Looking for Parking, and dabbled in the art of stand-up comedy. She frequently performs in long-form improv sets and has been a member of Arcade teams, Power Surge, Change Machine, World Class Track Meet, and Side Quest. She also coaches both short-form and long-form improv teams - bringing along a wealth of knowledge from the incredible teachers that she's had along this journey. One of her comedy career highlights is teaching kids improv skills that can help them embrace the changes and challenges of life. She brings some of that childlike wonder to her character Trombone, a cult favorite. Sara believes that improv can open anyone up to embracing mistakes and yes anding anything that comes your way. Her personal journey has benefited greatly from the tools that comedy has given her. In her spare time, Sara enjoys exploring mindfulness, paddleboarding, and listening to Steely Dan.
