Sarah Galante

Sarah Galante (she/her) is a queer playwright and fat activist based in Brooklyn, where she lives with her spouse and their neurotic corgi, Hoagie. Her work centers bodies onstage, particularly fat bodies, and blends absurdism, dark humor, and emotional realism to interrogate systems of power, shame, and survival.

Sarah is the recipient of the Paula Vogel Playwriting Award, the Jean Kennedy Smith Award, and the Gary Garrison Award. She is a 2026 Writer in Residence with the New Harmony Project, is a New George’s Affiliated Artist, and was a Core Apprentice at the Playwrights’ Center under the mentorship of Jen Silverman.

She has collaborated with The Playwrights Center, Lincoln Center, The Tank, New Harmony Project, Primary Stages, Breaking and Entering Theater Collective, The Playwrights Foundation, Parity Productions, the Women’s Playwriting Collective, and more. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Dramatic Writing at New York University. Sarah creates theater that is fantastical, fat, and irreverent, and is deeply invested in who gets to be seen, heard, and taken seriously onstage.
