Sarah Stars in WIDOWED

In early April, I wrapped shooting a supporting role in the upcoming indie feature, Widowed. I played Darcy, a straight-talking but steady filmmaker who is mourning her sister's recent suicide while also managing her brother-in-law's grief. It was great to collaborate with talented filmmaker (and good friend) Alex Alessi on another project! More to come as the film makes its way through post!

Still dreaming about our very “calendar” weekend in Mariposa, celebrating Janay & Caleb and communing with the majestic scenery of central CA. I can’t think of anything more beautiful than watching one of your best friends marry the love of her life, but Yosemite is definitely a close second!

“We always want more, one more just because we love it…” 💛🎬

I had such a great time on set for “Widowed” a few weeks ago - 3 states in 3 days! Thank you to @alexalessi for being an incredible collaborator, for trusting me with Darcy, and for assembling such an A+ cast and crew. I can’t wait to see the beautiful thing we made together!

Shout out to @wrk_media, @jpalmieri13, & @mattiecammedia for the awesome BTS! 📸

The only cool thing I’ve done this winter is Living Radio.

Shout out to @mikeyreggiano for writing me a character who eats dumplings on stage and to @john_e_noel for suggesting I should have real dumplings 🥟

Listen to “The Smell of Vinyl” in the Living Radio archives, featuring excellent vocal performances by @andrewgroans, @ispyhannah, @colinmacgeorge, & yours truly! AND follow @livingradionyc (because I also run the Instagram lol) 💛💛

If I’m dressed as my cat Joe and I’m teaching Pilates, does that make me… Joseph Pilates? 😼

5 years married // 13 years together

This year was a busy one for both of us. We’ve been focused on our goals, and time together was more scarce than we would’ve liked. (We’re not even really spending today together.) I’d like to think that I always appreciated every moment with you to the fullest, but Year 5 made me truly understand how precious and wonderful that time really is. Enjoying meals, holding hands, having hard conversations, making stupid jokes, traveling to new places inside and outside of our beloved city, even just lazing about and snuggling with the cat. Spending time with you is not what I do in between the rest of my life; it is my life, and I love it, and I love you. Thank you for every second together, @john_e_noel. You are, always have been, and continue to be the best one. 💛

(But fingers crossed, we can squeeze in a vacation for just the 2 of us in Year 6 lol 🤞)

I spent a good chunk of my summer working with an incredible group of talented women on a play that meant a lot to me.

In a time when women’s rights have been eroded, same sex marriage is under attack, and the right is coming for no-fault divorce next, it felt really important to tell stories of women who have emerged on the other side of divorce stronger, happier, and more whole. I am so honored to have learned and embodied the words of 8 different women, giving voice to their frustrations, desires, and earned wisdom. I am proud of my own hard work and dedication in this process and for succeeding at an acting challenge that, at times, seemed almost insurmountable. And mostly, I feel so lucky and grateful to have shared this creative journey with 6 brilliant, empathetic artists who I respect immensely.

Thank you for everything, @kinshiptheatrecollective, @actorsguildnyc, & The HeteroMonotony Project. 💛

A week later, I’m still dreaming about #CurlsOnCurlsOnaMountain!
Bethany & Zach, your love is as stunning as those mountain views! You’re both so caring and generous with everyone in your lives, and it was so beautiful to see your community of friends and family celebrate you the way you deserve. We’re so lucky to know you both and so happy to have been a small part of your big day. 💛

Did you know that when your partner has a birthday and graduates in the same week you just get to do a bunch of fun stuff to celebrate them? It’s a major perk…
John, I am so proud of all your hard work these last 2 years. It wasn’t an easy decision to go back to school, and it certainly hasn’t always been easy to be in school while working several jobs and balancing all your other responsibilities. But you did it AND graduated with honors AND you’re moving on to finish your bachelor’s in the fall! Your dedication, resilience, and ingenuity have always impressed me, and it’s been amazing to see those qualities really show up and shine when you needed them most. You inspire me, I love you, and I am as always so glad you were born. Happy birthday, and congrats, grad!! 🎓🥳

For the last 4 months, I’ve been working toward a major goal, and I am excited to finally share that…
THIS WEEK, I finished the instructor training program with @studio_pilates!
Finding Pilates has been a game changer for me. It’s helped me to rehab old injuries, manage chronic pain, and of course, get hella strong in the process. I can’t wait to share my newfound passion with folks here in Brooklyn and start teaching my own classes (more on that soon 😉).
Cheers to stable muscles and new life phases! 💪🥂
… and of course, Happy World Pilates Day!

the little things really kept me goin’ in 2024.

“If you love it, if you hate it, I don’t f***in’ care what you think” ✌️

Creative November Year 7 is complete… and I have some thoughts. In many ways, I am so proud of my output this year. I feel physically strong (thank you, Pilates!). My personal movement vocabulary feels well-defined, and I’m very in touch with what my body needs on a given day. Without watching the tape back first, I can tell whether or not I need to keep dancing to accomplish what I want to accomplish; a “successful” improv has become a feeling more than an aesthetic assessment. In a year when I’m generally feeling pretty burnt out, my practice felt cathartic and cozy and comfortable. Maybe… too comfortable?

Year 7 (and to be honest, 2024 in general) felt like a major signal that *something* needs to change, but I’m not exactly sure what that something is yet. I know I want to get back into regular dance classes to expand my vocabulary again and challenge my now well-established tendencies. Maybe, I need to invite in a collaborative element (duets? viewer suggestions?) so I can have a conversation instead of constantly soliloquizing. Perhaps, it’s time to find a way to welcome in a broader audience, a proposition that I am not exactly sure how to achieve and that honestly terrifies me to my core. The answer could be all, some, or none of the above, but it’s clear something has got to give.

Finishing all 30 days used to be the challenge of #CreativeNovember, but after 7 years of completion, that just doesn’t feel like enough anymore. I don’t know what’s coming in Year 8 or 2025. I do know that it’s time for something different, even if it’s scary.

or moments from before we knew what was coming…

Ask me how much fun I had at @hessjonovich & @anyarichkind’s wedding?!

It was such a treat to celebrate one of my favorite couples surrounded by dear, dear friends! From the gorgeous ceremony to the bangers on the dance floor, October 19th was truly one for the books!

Jess & Anya - I love your love and your minds and your artistry and your cats! Thank you for including John and I in your big, beautiful day and your big, beautiful community! #facciamoinsieme

🎶it’s okay to just admit that you’re jealous of me (aka my Chicago redemption tour)

4 years married // 12 years together

This year, I’m especially grateful that, in a way, we’ve gotten to grow up together. Our relationship is still relatively young, and at the same time, I’ve known and loved so many versions of you already. You make me stronger and more confident every year, and I know I am a better version of myself because of your love and support. I’m really proud of the people we’ve helped each other become, and I’m excited to see who we are becoming next, together.

I love you, John. Happy anniversary 💛

I’m excited to finally share the sizzle reel from the 1st performance of my solo piece, “object/subject” at the Drops in the Vase Drop-In Salon!

“object/subject” is a reflective exploration in motion and stillness of my experiences as a figure model. I’m not really sure what the next phase or home for this piece will be, but I am proud of myself for putting together this draft in a little over a month and allowing it to be what and where it is for the time being.

Big thank you to @dropsinthevase and @mazm221 for creating such a supportive space to share this new work! I am so grateful 🙏

We spent the dreamiest weekend in Asheville celebrating the Joneses! Danielle and Steve are two of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out, and I’m so honored to know them and to have been a small part of their special day.
Shout out to the Improbable fam for always being the life of the party - we gotta make up another excuse to travel together soon!
