Sarah O'Toole

Director, Performer & Creative mentor

At the heart of all my work is a single, driving passion: the power of a well-told story.As a director and playwright, I live in the world of a play, shaping it from the first idea to the final curtain.As a creative mentor and coach, I partner with artists to help them tell their own stories with clarity and confidence.And as a jazz singer and actor, I have the joy of being the vessel for a story, channeling its emotion directly to an audience.If you are interested in casting, learning from or collaborating with me, I'd love to hear from you.

Theatre & Film Work

My work in theatre and film is built on a foundation of rigorous training—from Galway Youth Theatre and the Gaiety School of Acting to an MA in Theatre Directing. This comprehensive background allows me to move fluidly across the industry as a freelance actor, director, and dramaturg. My directorial practice is extensive; I have helmed numerous productions across the classic and contemporary canon, often working with emerging artists. Alongside interpreting existing works, I originate my own theatrical pieces, driven by a passion for bringing compelling stories to the stage and screen.
