Sarah Reuben is a writer, theatre-maker, performer and producer. Her practice spans new writing, performance and theatre for young audiences, with a particular interest in creating contemporary work that explores connection, imagination and human experience.

Through her independent theatre company, Ruby Gaytime Productions, Sarah has co-written, performed and produced Best, Short Change, Death Party and This Jew Sits. She co-wrote, performed and produced I’ll Tell You in Person, which premiered at Darwin Festival in 2020 before a season at Perth Festival in 2021, and Lower The Bar, which premiered at Darwin Entertainment Centre before touring regionally with Artback.

Sarah co-wrote, performed and produced The Hypotheticals, which premiered at Darwin Festival in 2021, followed by an NT regional tour with Artback in 2022, a Perth season in 2023 and a WA regional tour with The Last Great Hunt in 2024/25. The work received multiple NT Performing Arts Award nominations and a PAWA nomination for Best Main Stage Production, and won the 2020 NT Literary Award for Best Play.

She co-wrote and performed in The Present, which premiered in 2026 at Browns Mart, co-presented by The Last Great Hunt and Artback, and was nominated for Best Production at the NT Arts Awards. Sarah is currently developing SUCCESS!, a new theatre work for young people, and Above: Theatre for Babies, an immersive sensory work for babies aged 6–24 months and their carers.

Sarah is a co-creator of the nationally touring Shania Choir, creator of the webseries Deadly Tales, and a regular panel host on NT Recap. She is also the NT facilitator for ATYP’s Fresh Ink, a year-long program supporting young playwrights.

Sarah has received two NT Literary Awards, winning Best Play in 2020 for The Hypotheticals, which she co-wrote with Jeffrey Jay Fowler, and in 2024 for She Sits. In 2021, she completed a postgraduate degree in Creativity in Health at the University of Melbourne, exploring the intersection of performing arts and medicine. This research led to a large-scale storytelling project focused on improving health outcomes for children living in remote Aboriginal communities.
