HEY! I'm

Sarah

kleist

... but there's probably 15 other Sarahs in your life, so you can call me Kleist, if you want. (No pressure.)

Whether it's an old tale told in a new, innovative way, or a narrative that looks, feels, and sounds more modern, I believe that the way to reach today's audiences is to bring them characters they can relate to from composers who are influenced by the sounds of now.

Translation: I'm probably not the best choice for your grandmother's musical theater (unless your grandmother was extremely cool and ahead of her time, in which case, introduce us).

Apart from my Pop-Punk rendition of Defying Gravity, I'm known for being "very chill" and "incredibly reliable" and "perfect for the middle harmony because I'll *actually* learn it."  (Real quotes! I can provide references!)

What I'm NOT known for is being humble on a website—I design them for a living, so I know exactly how far a little strategic bragging and well-placed sass will get you on the internet. ;)
