Heath Saunders

(they/them)

HEATH SAUNDERS is an actor, composer, multi-instrumentalist, director, teacher, producer, and diversity dramaturg — a role they infamously made up one day and now is a whole career unto itself. All of their free time is generally devoted to readings, workshops, and new works in one of those aforementioned capacities. They recently joined the faculty at The New School, in addition to enjoying teaching with the Musical Creators Institute, and Actor Therapy. Selected theater credits: Company (Broadway), Once (Hangar Theater), Jesus Christ Superstar (NBC Live!, Chicago Lyric), Alice By Heart (MCC Theater), and The Great Comet (Broadway). Their 2020 EP Does Not Play Well With Others (I Hope You’re Not ‘Others’) can be heard wherever you stream music, except maybe Tidal – they don’t know, they don’t have an account. In 2021, they co-founded a tech start-up, Spectra Media Collective, with their mother and siblings, where they now act as Chief Creative Officer.
