ABOUT SARAH
I'm a born-and-raised Jersey girl who fell in love with theater at an early age – one of my earliest memories is seeing the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and getting upset when I wasn’t allowed to get up on stage to dance with the Rockettes. After graduating from Princeton University with a major in Psychology and certificates in Neuroscience and Theater, I moved to Cleveland, Ohio to pursue my MFA at the Tony Award-winning Cleveland Play House in the Case Western Reserve University/Cleveland Play House MFA Acting Program.
​
I now work in the New York and New Jersey area as a theater maker, aerialist, and educator who is passionate about collaboration. My work plays with juxtaposition: modernity and antiquity,
language and movement, realism and magic. I believe in creating theater that is inherently theatrical; I want to tell stories in a way that necessitates the stage. Above all, I believe in storytelling as a powerful tool to combat alienation and foster human connection.
Upcoming projects
TRAD was recently selected as a semifinalist for both the Ojai Playwrights Conference and SheNYC.
I've been commissioned to write a new play for Art House Productions through the 2026 Hudson County History Partnership Program.
​
I'll be acting in a staged reading of Megan Medley's Cemetery Play this March at the Bechdel Project.
​​​​​
"Stoned For Christmas", an animated short film that I voice acted in, is currently making the festival rounds! Follow @stonedforxmas on Instagram for more festival news!​​​
Recent projects
I completed my INKubator residency at Art House Productions in Jersey City, and topped it all off with a staged reading of my brand new play TRAD. TRAD also received a staged reading at Luna Stage in West Orange.
​
I acted in several new play readings this past summer, including at the Garden State New Play Festival.
​
I voice acted for a Skyrizi TV spot – you can hear me here (and if you unmute during commercial breaks).
​​​
Taproot brought "Without God As My Lover" back to New York at spit&vigor's tiny baby blockbox, and I co-directed. It was wonderful getting to revisist this story! ​​
"If you want to experience a beautifully written show about a woman's fight for freedom and dignity performed by one of the finest actresses in the festival, come see Sarah Cuneo—who, to
my eye, is a star in the making.
