Saee Bage

  • Saee Bage is a recent high school graduate with a huge passion for music and the performing arts, with 7+ years of vocal training and a decade's worth of exposure to musical theatre. She has performed in numerous Bay Area community theatre productions, such as "Hairspray" and "Phantom of the Opera," through the joint efforts of Stage1 Theatre and Ohlone College here in Fremont. She has also performed a handful of productions at Irvington Conservatory Theatre, recently playing the lead Rona in their production of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." Apart from theatre, Saee has become an avid vocal teacher to her community, providing affordable vocal lessons in hopes of donating the profits to local community theatres through her nonprofit "SaeeMusic." Additionally, Saee loves creating song covers with her ukulele that she publishes on social media, and she is eager to attend Santa Clara University this fall to study Computer Science. Being a Fremont citizen her entire life, she looks forward to attending and performing at Fremont's very own July 4th Parade!
