Heath Saunders (New Yorker) is an actor, composer, multi-instrumentalist, director, teacher, producer, and diversity dramaturg. All of their free time (in the before times) were devoted to readings, workshops, and new works, and this new world has been mostly populated with aural experimentation. They returned to the stage this summer as Guy in Once (Hangar Theater), and they’re slowly getting back to that good, good musical theater development they love. Selected pre-pandemic credits: 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. www.thesaunderscollective.com
