Meet The Team
Sara Polon
writer & performer
Sara is an entrepreneur and the founder of Soupergirl, the DC-based fresh-food company she and her mom built from a farmers-market stand into a national brand. Before all that, she was a stand-up comic. Now she's coming back to the stage with the story she spent two decades living — about denial, shame, laughing through it all. She hopes that her story might help you realize that we're all in this together, whether we like it or not. She also really loves lentils and believes they can save the world.
