ABOUT SARAH HIRSCH:

 

 

 

I am a picture book creator and musical theatre writer based in Silver Spring, MD.  I majored in music at Yale University and received an MFA in book and lyric-writing from NYU's Tisch Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program.

​

I have written 9 musicals, all of which have received readings and several of which have received productions and won awards.  My songs have been performed at Lincoln Center, The United Nations, 54 Below, The Duplex, The Metropolitan Room, The Davenport Theatre, Barrington Stage, Mana Contemporary Arts Center, Anacostia Arts Center, and Axelrod Performing Arts Center.  

​

The birth of my first child and the shuttering of theatre during the pandemic inspired me to begin creating picture books -- an art form I have discovered is both wildly different from and similar to musical theatre!
