Sierra Cleveland - Producer Sierra earned her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts from California State University, Northridge in 1995, with an emphasis in Acting and Directing. After completing two years of graduate studies at Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts - Professional Actor Training Program, she relocated to Chicago to pursue acting and directing career. Soon after moving to Chicago, Sierra began volunteering for the Furry Friends Foundation, a Chicago animal shelter, where she first encountered dogs that had been injured in staged fights. Through her experience at the animal shelter, Sierra began to learn about the effects that dog fighting has on both animals and communities. It was a year later that she came up with the idea of making a documentary about dog fighting. A few short months later, fate brought Butch, Julie & Sienna together to form the dynamic trio which embarked on the monumental task of bringing dog fighting into the light! Sierra has acted with a number of Chicago theater companies including ShawChicago, The Free Associates, M’PAACT Theatre, greasy joan & co., and Borealis Theatre Company. She has also toured the east coast with Shenandoah Shakespeare. She is currently a company member of TinFish Theatre where she has acted and directed. Sierra is the Community Project Coordinator for The Anti-Cruelty Society where she continues to educate the public about dog fighting as well as other animal issues. |
