With Rainbow Theatre Project, Sara performed the role of Zelda Fitzgerald in Clothes for a Summer Hotel  
In all of the theatre productions that I have reviewed, I have never seen the equal of Barker’s performance 
- Maryland Theatre Guide

With Scena Theatre, Sara performed the title role, Lady Arbuthnot, in A Woman of No Importance.
Barker gives the most naturalistic performance in the cast; she makes Wilde’s text a pleasure to listen to. Each time she was on stage, her presence was a focused calm in the midst of the swirling action in the scene.
- DC Theatre Scene
"Sara has this ability to transform before your eyes. I've seen her age a decade in a second, or change genders with a single tilt of the head. This comes from building such a strong inner life for her characters. As her soul moves, so do we as audience members...her transformation is the catalyst for our own."
​
-Amber Paige McGinnis, director
"Sara is one of DC’s most accomplished actors. A company member of four DC area theatres, WSC/Avant Bard, Factory 449, Rorschach and the Klunch, Sara has been a fixture for a decade. She made her first big splash as Jackie in WSC’s The House of Yes, and since then racked up numerous credits, notably 4.48 Psychosis (Factory 449), Elizabeth in Mary Stuart, Orlando in Orlando, Desdemona in Othello (WSC/Avant Bard), and Closetland (Factory 449), among many others."
​-DC Theatre Scene
"Thanks to the expressiveness and poise of actress Sara Barker, this shipboard tableau is one of the most resonant moments in WSC Avant Bard's diverting and colorful 'Orlando.'"
