hi! I’m Sara Caplan :)

I do improv, I make music, I write, I’m trans, and I’m other stuff too!

Hi! I am a writer, musician, and improviser based in Los Angeles, CA. I am a member of the Harold Team XOXO and the musical improv team Dramatique at Upright Citizens’ Brigade, as well as a member of QT’s, UCB’s first all-trans-GNC-nonbinary improv team. I’ve guested with Baby Wants Candy, Magic to Do, Queer World, and Off Book, and I also coach improv and teach musical improv workshops!

I grew up in Houston, TX before graduating from Harvard in 2015 with a degree in Philosophy. Since then, I’ve worked a number of different jobs, from teaching sculptural welding classes to working with high school students on their college admissions essays to building sets for game shows on Dropout. I also briefly attended Berkeley School of Law, but dropped out after growing increasingly frustrated and disillusioned with the legal system.

These days, when I’m not performing or teaching improv, I’m likely either working my way through a David Graeber book, playing TTRPGs, beep booping on my synthesizers, trying to write a Substack post, or making new cat toys for my kittens Piro and Sevvy!
