“Alice in Wonderland” Presented at Brooklyn Music School
For once Sarah has written a play for all ages!
The children at Brooklyn Music School performed Sarah’s brand-new adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland December 12 - 14, 2024.
Sarah’s Alice in Wonderland is a faithful adaptation of the book told through a modern lens, with all the favorite characters and reinvigorated with a contemporary perspective. Alice is a neurodivergent girl who struggles with social cues, and falling into the rabbit holes gives her a crash course on balancing self-acceptance and self improvement. Come for the Tea Party, stay for the life lessons!

Appearance in Feature Film “Memory”
Sarah is briefly featured in the indie film Memory, starring Jessica Chastain and Peter Sarsgaard, open in theaters in major cities across the country in January 2024.
Sarah can be seen in the 12 step meeting scenes, at one point, quite clearly! Though the improv dialogue she filmed with Ms. Chastain (who was a phenomenally talent and supremely kind) is not included in the final cut, you can clearly see her face! A win is a win!

The Original Podcast is Released!
Nora’s Dragon is a fictional podcast series that launched in October 2023. The podcast is available on all streaming platforms.
A cross between an audio book and an audio play, Nora's Dragon is a heart-wrenching romance for adults.
Inspired by the cult classic Disney movie Pete's Dragon, the story follows Nora, a lighthouse keeper who refuses to extinguish the torch she still carries for her lost-at-sea fiancée. With themes of codependency, alcoholism, and fantasy, this nine-episode story takes you on an adventure of feminine self-actualization at the turn of the 20th century on the coast of Maine.
