About Heather
I have over 30 years of performance and directing experience. I have worked in professional, community and educational theater with students ages 8-80. I have earned professional recognition, awards, and nominations for my work from:
St. Louis Theater Circle
Arts For Life
Theater Mask Awards
Southern Theater Conference
Irene Ryan Acting Award Nominee
I believe that each person holds unique ingredients -physical, vocal, emotional and experiential - that enable them to bring a character to life in a compelling and believable way. Accessing and accepting oneself along with growing both courage and skill is the life's work of an actor.
I thrill to watch my students accomplish something they felt was beyond their reach. Many people dream of things but never have the courage to try. I work with students that have come to believe in the hidden agendas that keep them from ever taking the first step towards a dream.
My true passion is Shakespeare... not that everyone will be a Shakespearean actor, mind you. However, the skills required to navigate a piece of classical text transfers to any other area of work an actor attempts. Shakespeare is raw, gritty, emotionally dangerous, highly physical, comedic, heart wrenching, socially relevant, and deeply human. Once you develop a few basic skills in analyzing the text, the entire world opens up!
I have my B.S. in Theater Performance and Directing and my M.A. in Communication. I completed graduate studies at Oxford university in Shakespeare and classical text.
I have performed and directed in professional, community and educational theater for over 30 years earning multiple awards and nominations for my performance and directing work. My directing experience is to students of all skill levels and from ages 8-80.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I could not recommend Heather more. Heather has it all: the dual experience as an actor and director, the empathy and understanding of a coach, and the technical expertise of being a teacher for years. She pushed me as an actor, she challenged me, and, most importantly, she made me WANT to leave my comfort zone. Simply put, Heather is a professional. If you want to grow and fine-tune your skills, talk to Heather. She'll get you where you want to go.
This summer my daughter participated in a week long camp and absolutely loved it. It was beyond impressive to see how a production came together so quickly and successfully. It was a fantastic show. My daughter grew in confidence too as she developed her acting skills. I would highly recommend this studio and Heather Sartin. Ms. Sartin is talented and an excellent director.
I loved how Heather can reach any actor no matter what level they're on. She treats everyone as if they're the only one in the room with her. She makes you feel good about the choices you've made and when she doesn't, I just love how she lets you know. She's by far one of the best I've ever worked with!
Heather is a phenomenal actor. I think that is what makes her such an amazing director. She invited everyone to be a part of the greater picture, no matter how many lines the character might hold. She values your input and makes every show a masterpiece. This acting studio changed my life for the better. I cannot speak enough praises :)
