About me

Sara Ackermann is a Swiss actress, voice performer and storyteller based in Zurich. After training at the Schule für Schauspiel Hamburg and Speech Academy, she began working across theatre, film and voice.

She has appeared in several successful comedy productions at the Kammerspiele Seeb, including Der dressierte Mann, Ab durch den Schrank, and Achtsam Morden. In spring 2026, she returns to the Seeb stage in the mystery play 2:22. In addition to her acting work, she is expanding her creative perspective behind the scenes, serving as assistant director for two stage productions: Vermisst (2024) and Eine geniale Idee (2025).

On screen, Sara has acted in a range of short films and continues to build her screen presence through original work. Her self-written and produced short film RUN AWAY, in which she also played the lead, was shown at multiple festivals and received several awards, including 1st Prize at the Movie Day 2024. She is currently developing new screen projects as a writer and collaborates with fellow creatives to bring visionary ideas to life.

Sara works in German, Swiss-German and English, and is available for projects in theatre, film and voice.
