Speaker: Sarah Grant Reid - Guest Speaker

Sarah Grant Reid is dedicated to entertainment and accuracy. Since her first performance in 1983, her dramatic presentations have combined the magic of theater with painstaking research – her sources range from the National Archives of the American Red Cross to the Palace of Malmaison. Versatile and multi-talented, she creates programs consistently recognized for their warmth, their humor, their ability to enthrall, reward and entertain!

Sarah obtained a B.A. in French, Spanish and German from Ohio University and received a Fulbright Grant. She held management positions with Xerox, Rank Xerox and A.B. Dick in the U.S. and Europe. She has taught in European and American school systems, appeared in theatrical productions – her acting was praised by Germany’s leading newspaper – and undertook official translation and interpreting assignments.

For six years, Sarah served as Chair of Volunteers and an International Services Instructor for the Dallas Area Chapter of the American Red Cross. Among her other accomplishments, Sarah earned the title of “Professor” by playing the steam-driven organ (no easy feat!) aboard the famous “Delta Queen” on the Mississippi River.
She has created One Woman Shows about Madame Tussaud, the Empress Josephine and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Sarah has appeared on stage, television and radio in the United States, Europe and Mexico
