What happens when the curtain closes earlier than expected? For Sarah Davison, that moment opened the door to a career she never imagined.
In this episode of Recast & Rise, Sarah shares her journey from a classically trained ballerina in France to performing on some of Las Vegas’s biggest stages—including Celine Dion’s A New Day, Le Rêve, and Cirque du Soleil’s Viva Elvis. When the show closed, an unexpected opportunity led her behind the table as a casting advisor, where she discovered her true passion: finding and supporting the next generation of performers.
We talk about:
The audition that completely changed her life
How she managed the identity shift from dancer to casting director
The skills she had to learn
The reality of casting—what it is really like behind the scenes
Why mentorship, connection, and continuous learning shaped her success
Sarah’s story is a powerful reminder that the end of one career can be the beginning of something even more fulfilling.
