Beginning of early life, education and career
Growing up in Cork, Sarah didn’t think much of an acting career until her parents took her to a theater performance of “Little Red Riding Hood”. She became interested in the performing arts and with the support of her parents, she took her first acting lessons at the CADA drama school, which is known for helping to produce several international stars.
Growing up, she developed her skills by participating in local musicals and plays while supplementing this with formal acting lessons. Her debut was in “The King and I” in Cork, and after graduating from CADA she moved to Dublin to study at the Gaiety School of Acting.
The drama school was founded by actor Joe Dowling in the late 1980s because there were no immediately accessible drama schools in the area for those who wanted to pursue the profession. After graduating in 2006, she quickly sought employment and made her television debut in “Bachelors Walk” in a small untitled role.
Continue acting
In 2008, Greene made her screen debut in the independent feature film “Eden”, before landing her first mainstream project in “Love and Savagery” playing the character Cathleen – the film was a Canadian collaboration and starred Allan Hawco. She portrays his character’s love interest, an orphan on the verge of becoming a nun. Around the same time, she also worked on her first notable theater project, “The Playboy of the Western World”.

She also made a cameo appearance in “The Assets”.
The plays she worked on during this period include “Little Gem” and “Between Foxrock and a Hard Place”.
