BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Sadie Chamberlain has a vivid imagination and a way with words.

The final year student at Saint Michael’s College, Colchester, is studying a double major in theater and psychology. Chamberlain grew up in Vermont and has been acting since the age of five. The 22-year-old from Burke appeared in 24 performances. For her senior capstone project, Chamberlain wrote a fantastic play about her life with a disability.

Chamberlain suffers from cerebral palsy and Taste of freedom, she sings, dances and performs as the Virgin, one of the four characters inhabiting the Celtic landscape.
