Playwright Sarah Gancher is a weaver of epic narratives, blending profound themes with sharp wit. Winner of an Obie Award, her work has graced stages worldwide, from London's National Theatre to New York's The Public Theater.
Gancher's explorations often center on history's reflection in individual lives, as seen in Seder, an intimate epic inspired by a true story of survival, and Klauzál Square, where a young girl befriends a ghost. Her comedy Russian Troll Farm premiered at the Vineyard Theatre in 2024, offering a darkly humorous glimpse into the world of online misinformation. Beyond plays, Gancher has collaborated on acclaimed musicals like Hundred Days and Mission Drift, and written for prestigious organizations like Blue Man Group and Cirque du Soleil. A jazz and bluegrass violinist, Gancher also teaches playwriting at NYU Tisch and The New School, inspiring the next generation of theatrical voices.
