656 Speaking Honestly with Sarah Bierstock

This week, I’m super excited to talk with a truly influential voice — actress and playwright Sarah Bierstock. 

Sarah is a renowned playwright, performer, and film producer. Her most recent project, the musical short film “All the World is a Stage,” directed by Telly Award winner Desiree Abeyta, will premiere through Broadwayworld.com on International Women’s Day. 

This film features Broadway favorites Kristy Cates, Christiane Noll, Patrick Page, and many others as they come together to explore the societal expectations placed on women.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Her journey to becoming a prolific playwright and filmmaker
• The plays she has written and her latest project, a short film called “All the World is a Stage”
• How her film uses the metaphor of a cabaret performance to explore themes of authenticity, social expectations, and self-acceptance
• The importance of speaking honestly and the challenges of balancing multiple roles
