I’m Sara Register…
The regular type of resume just doesn’t seem to capture my story.
So welcome…to me!
I AM A WRITER.
My main goal is to ply my skills in late night
comedy writing.
Either Or
Talk/Variety Sketch
…Or both
But I’ve got a goal to accept both Original and
Adapted Screenplay Oscars.
And go to the Golden Globes.
And one day pen a hilarious memoir of my
adventures.
And those are just my WRITING goals!
So…why comedy?
Because I honestly believe that in all the craziness of this
world, we NEED comedy to keep us going. It helps to bring
light to the darkness and make sense of it all. Sometimes it
even helps us deal with things that we just couldn’t otherwise.
I want to
be a
candle.
And face it, I never
graduated from
being class clown.
Q: But, Sara, you’ve
never had professional
experience. Why
should we put you in
our writers’ room?
A: Because I’ve been tested in the roughest
crucible known to man. For the past ten years I
have had to think on my feet, present tough
material to an oftentimes unwilling audience,
and get along with everyone. I was the most
beaten-down creature on the planet. I was…
A HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH
TEACHER (the horror!!!!)
Reasons why teachers are great in any other profession:
• They have patience. In spades.
• They are people people. That sounds weird but it can’t be people persons. I
mean I was an English teacher for crying out loud.
• To get back to that last one, we can get along with anybody.
• No fear of public speaking. I made my class time the “Ms. Register Hour” with
intro jokes and voices and dramatic gesticulations.
• No fear of criticism. We receive that. In spades.
• Educated! I’ve got three freakin’ degrees, only one of which I am paid extra for!
• Communication skills on deck. I can write a memo that would make
Shakespeare shed a tear.
• I can read a room. Oh man, can I read a room.
B.A. in Film from Georgia
State University
B.S. in Secondary English
Education from Kennesaw
State University
M.A. in Professional Writing (Creative
Writing) from KSU
I’m a Leo. Also born in
the year of the dragon.
So powerful.

It. Was. Awesome.
I’ve also got three produced
short films, including this
one, RED, which has been
accepted into the Macon
Film Festival. It also has a
brief cameo by my daughter.
On-camera Experience
Only one so far, as an extra in Identity Thief starring
Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, and Eric Stonestreet.
I was a redneck lady with a black eye and I had to dance
in some hurty high heels for six hours to Mystikal’s
“Shake Ya Ass”. But how can I NOT include that?
Here’s the bottom line(s):
I was meant to be doing this. Writing, making people laugh.
I live for it.
I love the urgency of the live show.
From what I can tell, comedians are my tribe.
I’ll do what it takes.
I will work my way up.
I want to write for you.
Reach out and touch me! (in a way that doesn’t involve HR)
