Hi there! My name is Sarah Hoogenraad and I am a playwright/actor based in NYC. I have written two plays, one full length and one 30 min short, and I am excited to share them with NPX. I hope you'll give one (or both!) a read and let me know what you think!

Plays

  • Best Friends/Worst Partners
    Best Friends/Worst Partners is a play about friendship, love, and codependency. John and Lana have been together since high school, and they do everything with their best friends: Joseph, who is desperately looking for a partner, Kylie, who desperately loves her friends and her wife Elizabeth, who is the life of the party and the best friend anybody could ask for, and Hank, the quiet, friendly soul who recently...
    Best Friends/Worst Partners is a play about friendship, love, and codependency. John and Lana have been together since high school, and they do everything with their best friends: Joseph, who is desperately looking for a partner, Kylie, who desperately loves her friends and her wife Elizabeth, who is the life of the party and the best friend anybody could ask for, and Hank, the quiet, friendly soul who recently started dating Stephanie. When sparks fly between a newcomer and one of our friends, Ben, a bartender, witnesses something he'd rather not see. When Ben begins dating Joseph and starts piecing things together, a torrid secret threatens to tear the group, and their relationships, apart. This play calls for a cast of 4m, 4f, and a minimalist set.
  • Celebrity Crush: A One Act Comedy
    Shannon gets an unbelievable opportunity: her celebrity crush, Taylor Zane, wants to sleep with her. Her roommate Amy is already settled in for the night and hides in the next room, hoping for an opportunity to meet the star. When things go horribly awry, Shannon and Amy have to scramble to ensure they don't end up spending the night in jail.

    LOVED THIS PLAY. Read it with a group of friends over zoom during quarantine and we all absolutely loved it. Literally me in high school as a die hard directioner. Thank you for this play.
