Jeanne Sakata

Actress and playwright Jeanne Sakata has recently enjoyed recurring and guest star roles on ABC Shondaland's Station 19, CBS' Magnum PI, NCIS Hawai'i, NCIS Los Angeles, and Disney Plus' High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, with her voice talents featured in Marvel's new hit animated series Hit Monkey, Disney's Big Hero 6, and Nickolodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender. Onstage, Jeanne delighted New York audiences as soulful and spunky "Mom" in the Vineyard Theatre's 2019 Off-Broadway premiere of the Do You Feel Anger? Of her portrayal, New York Times' Ben Brantley raves: "Ms. Sakata is so touchingly, desperately beseeching that you may feel the need to call your own mother as soon as the curtain falls." Jeanne's celebrated solo play Hold These Truths (2013 Drama Desk Nomination, Outstanding Solo Performance; 2019 Theatre Bay Awards, Outstanding Production, Principal Performance and Direction) was produced in 2018-21 at San Francisco Playhouse, Capital Stage, and San Diego Rep,
