"If I see someone I know from the Hamptons, it just feels like a family," says actor/comedian Sarah Moliski, who recently relocated to Los Angeles for her career. "You have that strong foundation together." For Moliski, some of those connections were forged at Stages, A Children's Theater Workshop, where she studied and performed for many years. "It was the most important thing in my life growing up," she recalls. "It instilled so much in me as a young actor, which I still use to this day." After graduating from East Hampton High School, Moliski studied film, media, and theater at Hunter College. These days, she acts (including a starring role in the upcoming independent film Out of State: A Gothic Romance), is the host of a television show on Viceland, appears regularly on a Japanese talk show, and has performed stand-up comedy in venues like the Comedy Cellar, Broadway Comedy Club, and the Upright Citizens Brigade. "I was always the class clown and outgoing," she says. "I actually got voted class clown in our [East Hampton High School] yearbook. It's 100 percent accurate for me." - Hampton's Magazine "Creative Direction" by Rachel Fedler July 29th, 2016. Vol. 38 . Issue 4 .page 107Actress Sarah Moliski has used Backstage to get cast in too many parts to count, ranging from feature films to commercials to television gigs. However, for her recent role in "Out of State," a gothic feature film, Moliski found that she still had learning to do."I learn something new every day," says Moliski of her time shooting "Out of State." "I try to take in as much as I possibly can from every department. I think it is very important to be understanding and aware of everyone's job on set."After training at Maggie Flanigan Studio in Manhattan, Moliski's understanding of what it means to be an actor drastically changed. She now looks for roles that allow her to "find out a lot more about myself because I am not playing a character; the character is alive in me." Moliski depends on Backstage to help find those roles. "I trust Backstage," she concludes.That trust extends to her creative colleagues. "When you work under such intense conditions with so many different personalities and succeed in creating a work of art, it completely bonds everyone," she says. "The amount of knowledge I have been able to acquire from these experiences is utterly irreplaceable." - Backstage "#IGotCast" by Casey Mink 9.15.16 Vol 57, No 37. Page 11 Hide
