Sarah Blush directs, writes and develops original projects for theatreTV and more. Her work – described by The New York Times as dementedly daffy and vibrantly nuts – skews playful, stylized, funny, grim and strange. She likes performance to be brilliant or stupid; ideally both. Fun is paramount.

Sarah has developed and presented new plays and devised work with The Public Theater, Ars Nova, Clubbed Thumb, New Georges, The Playwrights’ Center, JACK, The Bushwick Starr, The Brick, The Hearth, Lightning Rod Special, Williamstown Theatre Festival, HERE, Dixon Place, 59E59 and more, associate/assistant directed extensively, and directed/taught at NYU Graduate Acting, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and NYU Meisner, Playwrights Horizons, and Atlantic studios.

She is a recipient of the Clubbed Thumb Directing Fellowship, New Georges Audrey Residency, Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab, Colt Coeur Artist Residency, Barn Arts Residency, and New York Society Library’s Emerging Female Artist Grant.

In addition to theatre, Sarah has directed virtual reality, interactive experiments in Google Sheets, experimental audio with her husband John Gasper for category:other, and for the podcast Live From Mount Olympus produced by The Onassis Foundation/ THE TEAM.

Upcoming: The Creature by Alexa Derman (AADA); Redemption Story by Peregrine Teng Heard (The Associates, A.R.T./NY Theaters); Racecar Racecar Racecar by Kallan Dana (The Hearth, Connelly Theater Upstairs).

Currently, Sarah has an original TV series (co-created with Sofya Levitsky-Weitz) in development with Lionsgate and Peacock.
