ABOUT RUTHIE
Ruthie Sangster is a performer and arts advocate from Simpsonville, Kentucky and currently based in NYC. She is a proud graduate of the University of Kentucky where she earned her degrees in both Vocal Performance (BM) and Arts Administration (BA).
Most recently, Ruthie had the joy of returning to Myers Dinner Theatre for the holidays as Rose Smith in Meet Me In St. Louis.

She has also spent two seasons at The Lost Colony in Manteo, NC where she has played various roles such as Dame Coleman, Landlady, and Margery Harvie/Female Ensemble, worked as an administrative assistant, and been involved in Professional Theatre Workshops both on and off stage. Some of Ruthie's favorite performances from her undergraduate experience include Suor Genovieffa in Suor Angelica (Fall 2019), Kate Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly (Spring 2019), and being in the company of the “It’s A Grand Night for Singing” Musical Revue as a featured soloist and dancer with the University of Kentucky Opera Theatre.
Ruthie’s love for performing has been fostered through her involvement at her home church, school choir and theatre, Louisville Youth Choir, and private voice/acting studies. In addition to her involvement in the arts, Ruthie enjoys film photography, hiking, reading, spending time at local coffee shops, and being with family and friends.
