Sarafina Vecchio
- Actress
Sarafina Vecchio is a tall glass of grounded truth with a sharp comedic edge and a heart that's lived a thousand lives. Based in Chicago, she's an actor, writer, and theatre educator who delights in playing the fop - the high-status idiot, or the low-status character who thinks they're the smartest in the room - infusing these roles with a blend of foolishness, elegance, and just enough danger.
Trained in both the U.K. and U.S., Sarafina completed graduate work in teaching Shakespeare at The University of Warwick and now coaches an active approach to The First Folio Technique, helping actors connect emotionally and rhythmically to classical text.
Before committing fully to acting, Sarafina worked as a successful plus-size model in NYC and LA, and spent years as an improviser in Chicago's comedy scene. She has appeared in numerous films, TV shows, and theatrical productions, and teaches acting at a Chicago theatre conservatory. Whether she's playing heartbreak or hilarity, she brings truth, timing, and an unforgettable presence to every role.
