CURRENT PROJECTS

LOVE ON FIRE When a straight set designer at a gay theater nearly loses his life in a fire, he is emboldened to find love. But, love finds him first from an unlikely source.

FOR KEEPS When a group of disenfranchised college students uncover a dark secret about their school, founded on utopia, it is up to them to expose the school for what it truly is while staying on the dean’s list.

Sarah wrote, directed, and produced a one-act children’s play based on the beloved Norwegian folktale “How Taper-Tom Made the Princess Laugh.”

While attending college in Boston, she was part of a team that created an educational video with the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center for incoming college freshman in the greater-Boston area.

Sarah first received national exposure in 2002 when Jay Leno came knocking at her bathroom door. If good fortune finds her on the “Tonight Show” again, she hopes the experience will not be as embarrassing.
