She has directed or taught Gregg Edelman, Jason Graae, Andrew Lippa, Jason Robert Brown, Kate Weatherhead, Christianne Noll, Mark Waldrop and Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga!)

This past summer she held enormously successful master classes in Los Angeles sponsored by ASCAP as part of the LA Festival of New American Musicals.  Sara is also on the faculty of the New Jersey State Theatre and Paper Mill Playhouse.  Joe Baker has been a musical director/pianist for Broadway’s FOOTLOOSE, THE LIFE, WICKED and more…

In the workshop, students will learn proven audition techniques and begin putting together a solid music theater audition repertoire  Music will be chosen specifically for each student--based not only on vocal and acting ability, but also carefully selected to show their best side in an audition.  Sara and Joe will also find appropriate audition-length edits of your music. At the end of the workshop each student will receive a customized practice CD that can be used for rehearsal and which will be an invaluable tool at auditions where there’s no accompanist available! (Many regional and academic auditions are now done this way.)
