About

Sarah Lunnie is an interdisciplinary new-works dramaturg and producer.

With Sam Gold and Lucas Hnath, Sarah is a creator and executive producer of Apple TV+’s The Dealer.

As a dramaturg, her theatrical collaborations include the development and first productions of Shayok Misha Chowdhury’s Rheology and Public Obscenities; Heidi Schreck’s What The Constitution Means to Me; Lucas Hnath’s A Doll’s House Part 2 and The Christians; Jeff Augustin’s Where The Mountain Meets the Sea, featuring original music by The Bengsons; and with the Mad Ones, Mrs. Murray’s Menagerie and Miles for Mary; among many others.

She was previously the Senior Dramaturg of the Public Theater; an Associate Artistic Director of the Jungle Theater in Minneapolis; the Literary Director at Playwrights Horizons; and the Literary Manager at Actors Theatre of Louisville, where she curated and developed new work for the Humana Festival of New American Plays. She is the co-editor, with Amy Wegener, of several volumes of Humana Festival play anthologies.

Sarah’s practice spans live performance, audio, and film & television. She has consulted as a dramaturg at Little Island and sometimes supports emerging choreographers as a dramaturg at the New York Choreographic Institute at New York City Ballet. She has produced several stage-to-audio adaptations and original projects for Audible, including Christopher Chen’s The Podcaster, and occasionally conspires with sound designer Stowe Nelson under the banner of Telephonic Literary Union to make weird work with phones, inefficiently. With Sam Gold and Lucas Hnath, she is a co-creator and executive producer of The Dealer, forthcoming on Apple.

She is a graduate of Boston College, where she studied theater and creative writing. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Josh, their three sons, and a very tired dog, and spends more time than you might imagine talking about Pokémon.
