About SARA

Sara Jecko started taking guitar lessons on Manhattan's Upper West Side as a young teenager., and  went on to major in Jazz Performance at SUNY New Paltz. 

She has since performed and recorded  eclecti originals and covers locally and nationally. Her training has helped land vocal and instrumental roles in several NYC rock operas, and has indeed lended her comfort as the ridiculous lounge-act improv-centric co-creator counterpart of THE COLOR F ( with Daniel Scot Kadin, NYC), an explosive cabaret, which led to Jecko’s inspiration to gather some of the cast and friends to create VAMPED (NYC ‘19- pre-pan ’20). 

But before the jazz and the tours and the vaudeville parties, oh my, there was of course the theatre.

Sara had been a painfully shy child before the age of 8, when she started studying acting at Kid City Theater Company, a beloved program at Greenwich Village's 13th Street Theatre. 

As an adult, her theater career has spanned from exploring the slower depths of guarded vulnerability, to avant garde experiments, to the glorious camp of dinner theater and improv.

She has also had the good fortune of acting in film and television projects, including the award -winning indie darling, LITTLE BI PEEP { wr: Anna Shields, dir: Jon Russell Cring, Tracy Nichole Cring), and has had the pleasure of assistant directing a Joe Minion short, AIRPORT, 2012.

She is honored to be teaching as an adjunct in the music department at her Alma Mater, as well as independently via zoom and in person. 

Jecko is proud and grateful to have grown up in Manhattan, yet thrilled to be living with her partner and raising a family where she now calls home - the Hudson Valley.
