Sarah Jones

"Chameleon-like" barely describes the astonishing ease with which Sarah Jones (@yesimsarahjones) slips in and out of the characters in her solo performances -- prompting The New York Times to dub her “a master of the genre”. Besides being a Tony-winning performer and writer of the Broadway hit Bridge & Tunnel and her subsequent play Sell/Buy/Date, Sarah recently made her debut as a film director with the hybrid documentary Sell/Buy/Date, inspired by the play, in which she also stars. The film, which is executive produced by Meryl Streep, world premiered at the SXSW Film Festival and was distributed (theatrical and streaming) by Cinedigm in fall 2022. Jones' various film and TV projects also include co-starring (along with Elisabeth Shue, Giovanni Ribisi, and Julie Delpy) in the Netflix series, On the Verge; appearing in Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story opposite Scarlett Johansson, and on the final season of Broad City. Renowned as “a one-woman global village,” she has also given multiple main-stage TED Talks garnering millions of views, performed for President and First Lady Obama at the White House, and given a performance at The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland as the first artist on its stage normally reserved for heads of state. She has also been a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, raising awareness of gender, ethnic, racial, and economic injustice and disparities globally. Jones recently launched Foment Productions, a social justice-focused entertainment company, with Sell/Buy/Date as its first production. The film tackles the intersection of race, gender justice, the economy, and various other issues through the unexpected lens of the sex industry. Using humor, investigative interviews, celebrity cameos (including Rosario Dawson, Ilana Glazer, and Bryan Cranston) and her own personal story, the film highlights how this topic is closer and more relevant to all of our lives than we may realize.
