Sonja Alarr as Woman #2
Sonja Alarr is a mom, writer, and erstwhile actor/singer. She used to do a ton of regional theatre, working at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, PCPA, La Jolla Playhouse, Crown City Theatre, Ensemble Theater, and the Kirk Douglas Theatre among others. But she really freaked out about auditioning, and the truth is, she wasn’t very good at it. So she and her husband, Albert, started a theatre company back in the day but stopped that to raise Anton and Zosia, two truly amazing kids. Now Sonja writes and does her own cabaret shows when she feels the itch to perform. If you need more: She has a BFA in theatre from CalArts and graduated summa cum laude with a master’s degree in feminist theory and English literature from Cal State Long Beach. She had her kids at home with no drugs. She’s a certified life coach. She’s currently writing her second novel. And she’s on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer, which explains a lot.
