Founder/Executive Producer

Sara Stackhouse

Known for her strategic organizational leadership and spearheading complex projects, Sara has produced live, digital, and site-specific work with Yo-Yo Ma, Igor Golyak and -ARLEKIN!, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Jessica Hecht, Chulpan Khamatova, Alvin Epstein, Andrey Burkovskiy and Yana Gladkikh, Mark Morris Dance Group, Bobby McFerrin, Torvill & Dean, Actors' Shakespeare Project, Tina Packer, ArtsEmerson, Rhombus Media, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Carnegie Hall, Suntory Hall, Under the Radar Festival, La Mama ETC, Classic Stage Company, A&E Television, and Lincoln Center.

Most recently, Sara spent five years as Producing Director of -ARLEKIN! and its Zero Gravity Theater Lab, steering the company through meteoric growth and producing award-winning projects, including Our Class, which swept the 2025 Lucille Lortel Awards, named "Best Theater of 2024" by The Wall Street Journal; both The Orchard and ChekhovOS starring Baryshnikov and Hecht, the latter of which received a New York Times Critics Pick; and The Dybbuk, staged at Boston’s ViIna Shul, winner of the Outstanding Production Elliot Norton Award in 2025.

Prior to -ARLEKIN!, Sara was the Founding Executive Producer of Actors' Shakespeare Project (ASP), where she produced 48 site-specific productions throughout the Boston area over 11 years, winning American Theater Wing, Elliot Norton, and Social Innovation Forum Awards. During this period, she forged partnerships with schools, city governments, and the juvenile justice system in collaboration with educational specialists Lori Taylor, Siobhan Brown, and Mara Sidmore, work that continues to shape her approach to community-embedded projects.

Earlier in her career, Sara worked as Project Manager and Producer for cellist Yo-Yo Ma, managing films, recordings, premieres, and international tours with artists such as Mark Morris, Wynton Marsalis, Bobby McFerrin, Rhombus Media, Edgar Meyer, Tamasaburo Bando, and Toni Morrison. She spent five years on the producing team of the six-film series Yo-Yo Ma, Inspired by Bach for Ma, featuring seven art forms across five continents. She considers Ma to be her most influential mentor because of his unfettered curiosity, exceptional kindness, and brave cross-cultural explorations.

Sara’s curiosity manifests in the creation of urgent, imaginative artistic projects. She is fiercely committed to artists and to catalyzing work in which perspectives, traditions, and artistic approaches collide to create wonder, healing, and understanding across divides.
