Sabra Jones

Sabra Jones is an American actress, director, writer, and producer known for her expansive collection of artistic work and for founding The Mirror Theater Ltd. She has produced over 172 theatrical productions in New York City, London, and around the country, including the 1982 Broadway production of Alice in Wonderland. Jones has acted on Broadway, at the Metropolitan Opera, in numerous regional productions, and in select television and film roles. She currently lives between Manhattan and Vermont, working as the Founding & Producing Artistic Director for The Mirror Theater Ltd and for The Mirror’s Vermont chapter, the Greensboro Arts Alliance and Residency. Sabra Jones grew up in a small town just outside of Los Angeles, separated from the metropolitan hubbub and yet close to the city's vibrant passage for the arts. At 18, she moved east to Manhattan and received a BFA from the Tisch School of the Arts. Shortly after, she landed her first Broadway role, a lead in Butterflies Are Free. Following this, Jones met and married John Strasberg--son of Actors Studio Artistic Director Lee Strasberg--and founded The Mirror Theater Ltd “under the mentorship of Harold Clurman, Ellis Rabb, Eva Le Gallienne, Alan Schneider, and John Gielgud.” Though Strasberg and Jones divorced, the company flourished, expanding into The Mirror Repertory Company (MRC) and eventually developing the Greensboro Arts Alliance and Residency (GAAR). Jones' son, Charlie McAteer, is currently co-Artistic Director for The Mirror. Outside of performing, directing, and producing, Jones is known for her award-winning Arts in Education program. She taught for almost nine years at the Lee Strasberg Institute, was a Professor of Acting at Pace University, directed at the Manhattanville College, and taught years of Mirror Rep Ensemble Classes as a Master Teacher.
