Performer of the Week: Sarah Hoar

Sarah has been with Hogwash since the early days. She is always bright, cheery and willing to do any role in Hogwash. In a scene with Sarah, you give her something and it's always 'yes and'. She's the jack of all trades in Hogwash. She's able to be the lead or a wacky side-kick, she has taught a class for our Girl Scout show, and even was the artist making props and painting faces. She's a spirited young lass with wonderful energy. We love Sarah!

What do you enjoy most about Hogwash?
Being new to Seattle I've met some amazing people through Hogwash. I really appreciate this. I also love working with kids. To hear and see the kids enjoying, interacting, and reacting to the characters before them is an awesome experience.


When did you start performing?
When I was five, my first role was a Mexican jumping bean in Jack and the Beanstalk.


What is one of your most memorable moments performing?
I was cast as Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors my senior year of college. This is a part that normally goes to a man, so I was thrilled to receive it.

Week Nine Highlights

Nillie was the janitor of an International Spy Facility, but she dreamt of living the spy’s life. She practiced her spy moves while she worked and always kept everything spotless, but no one seemed to notice her good work, or even care. One day when Nillie arrived at work, all the spies had disappeared, vanished. Tyler, the most notable and rudest spy at the spy facility, had hid in the bathroom. Tyler filled Nillie in on what happened and told her that she had to stay there while he looked for all the lost spies. Nillie knew that this was her chance to prove herself to everyone that she was just a good a spy as anyone else. She decided to launch her own investigation. She found fingerprints on the ground near where all the spies had disappeared. She also came across a stranger lurking around her stuff. His name was Boris and he tricked Nillie into leaving the facility and looking for clues atop a snowy, cold mountain. He left her there to freeze. A strange creature lived atop that mountain and too Nillie in. Once under the cover of a roof, the strange creature revealed himself to be James Blond, the most greatest super spy in all the land! He trained her to be the best spy and they followed the clues to find the lost spies. It turned out that Tyler took all the spies so he could be the only spy and therefore the best spy. James Blond and Nillie dressed in disguises in order to trick Tyler. They succeeded in forcing him to confess and made him janitor and Nillie was appointed as the new top spy!

The Princess of San Diego was the kindest princess in all the land. She would take long walks with her half-human, half-dog friend to greet all her subjects. Unfortunately, her meaner older sister, the Princess of the Sea was a jealous and spiteful person. She decided to melt the ice caps with the help of global warming and dump all the water on top of San Diego. The princess had to learn to swim as the water rose higher and higher. She was afraid for the future of San Diego. With the help of some kind people, the princess figured she could find the drain for San Diego and pull the plug to drain all the water. This in turn made her sister dry up and really sick. She called on a Seattlite to get it to rain over San Diego. The Princess of the Sea apologized for her awful behavior and wanted to be friends with her sister. They decided that the land needs the sea and the sea needs the land, too much of one thing is not always a good thing.
