Leah Sanginiti is a Bay Area-based actor, activist, and teaching artist who has worked with regional and touring companies throughout the country. Before the COVID-19 shutdown, she was in Canada in the middle of a North American Tour with Bay Area Children’s Theatre. She has since thrown herself into every pandemic trend, two of which have stuck: faithfully tending to her sourdough starter, and fighting White Supremacy with every fiber of her being. She is immensely grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with other artists on a tiny screen. BFA Acting – Southern Oregon University. leahsanginiti.com
