I would recommend Sarah to work literally anywhere, including Broadway! She is a remarkable find and we are so lucky to be working with this talented young director."

My practice as a theatre director is rooted in joy.
As a queer woman, I create work that uplifts the voices and stories of women and LGBTQ+ folks. I am also particularly interested in using my background with American Sign Language to collaborate with Deaf artists in making theatre that bridges communication barriers. I seek opportunities to learn more about accessible practices and implement them in my work.
My background is largely in associate / assistant positions, which I find incredibly fulfilling and rewarding. I love being in the rehearsal room. I love being in tech. I love working with, learning from, and supporting other directors.
Above all, I approach my work as a director with a human-first philosophy and the belief that a great production begins with a healthy rehearsal room.
