SARA FARRINGTON is a playwright & co-founder of her theater company Foxy Films. She prides herself on her playwriting range and can write a play out of anything. She has an uncanny ear for any tone, any style, any time period, any kinda person, from the ancient Greeks, to a full 1940s patter, to the Edwardian restraint of Edith Wharton, to the histrionics of a shapeshifting Senator Lindsay Graham, to a pretty damn good imitation of Tennessee Williams, to writing a Cubist play. She attributes this to being an actor for much of her life (now a voice actor). She loves writing for actors and they gravitate toward her work.

 

She received her MFA from Brooklyn College under the evil eyes of General Mac Wellman and before that studied theater and performance at Connecticut College and The National Theater Insitute at The Eugene O'Neill Theater Center.

 

Sara is the author of The Lost Conversation: Interviews with an Enduring Avant Garde, (53rd State Press/TCG), A Trojan Woman (Broadway Play Publishing, Inc.) and Mickey & Sage (Broadway Play Publishing, Inc.) and Leisure, Labor, Lust (Next Stage Press, coming Oct 1st, 2025).

 

Sara’s play CasablancaBox was nominated for two Drama Desk Awards. Sara's plays have been critically acclaimed by The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, American Theatre Magazine, El Diario, The Village Voice, Lighting & Sound in America, NY1, Vice and many more. 

​​

Sara is currently writing the book and lyrics for her biggest piece yet, Dr. Uncanny Presents: Moreau '96, a musical adaptation of the 2014 Severin Films documentary, Lost Soul: The Doomed Journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Dr. Moreau, directed by David Gregory. The piece is directed by Reid Farrington and composed by David Van Tieghem.

​​​​​​​​Outside of the theater, Sara works as a commercial voice actor with DDONY Artists Agency's Voiceover Division, an audiobook narrator for Audible, Recorded Books, freelance and The Library of Congress' National Library Service for The Blind & Print Disabled, all from her home studio.

Sara is a fierce anti-fascist, anti-Republican, anti-right wing activist. She's a champion of the #MeToo movement and in 2018 she led a coalition to take down Peter Rofe, a serial sexual predator who assaulted over 60 of his female voice clients, including herself, over the course of several decades. Read all about his downfall at CNN.com (story told using unmarried name, Sara Asselin). Sara is also one of the original founders of Immigrant Families Together, a non-profit created in 2018 during the inhumane "zero tolerance" policy of child separation at the US-Mexico border.

​

Sara is an atheist Jew, tattoo enthusiast, avid reader, curious researcher, intrepid biker, dilletante drawer, and unbeatable classic Simpsons trivia expert.

 

Most importantly, Sara is mama to Jack and Levi and hope they continue to believe that having a playwright mom is awesome.
