Janelle is an emerging Chicago and Madison-based singer, actor, and performer. A recent Musical Theatre graduate from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University, this Wisconsin native has fully embraced life in Chicago. For the last several years, she has been honing her craft and has worked in regional theaters from Madison to Chicago. Most recently, she was seen as Doralee Rhodes in 9 to 5 with Metropolis PAC!
She has been hooked on performing since her first role in a musical at age 15, and hasn't looked back since! When not performing, you can find Janelle working on digital art, playing Dungeons and Dragons, or with her cat Pigeon!
"The audience was able to thoroughly enjoy Sanabria’s performance. [...] Sanabria is a strong vocalist who can maneuver multiple vocal styles with ease." - Life and Times
