Sarah Jones Speaking Topics
-
Celebrating Diversity
Sarah Jones is enlightening and entertaining as she utilizes her Tony Award-winning acting prowess to transform into more than 20 different fictional characters on stage. Through their eyes, she offers rapid-fire perspectives on the some of the most pressing issues of the day. From the economic environment to the political and societal mood of the country, her characters deliver an eye-opening glimpse into what today’s multicultural population is really thinking and the effects of different issues on their communities. Called a “whizz-bang creative tour de force” by TED, her characters help us step outside of how we see the world – and each other, as she dives into topics (selected by her audience) as diverse as healthcare, jobs, generational issues, the environment, sports, business development, and more.

Celebrating an Industry, Company, or Product
In a one-woman show, Tony Award-winning actress Sarah Jones tailors a presentation focused on your industry, company, or product. Delivering insights and truisms from the perspective of her many characters, Jones combines research and personality to create a truly unique performance. From a spunky Latina and a senior citizen to male cop and an Indian human rights aide, she gives voice to your members, customers, or stakeholders. Meryl Streep said, “When I first saw her, I thought no one else has that deep an understanding of people.”
Adapting characters to the specific event, industry, issue, or product, hers is not one-size-fits-all performance. With the right parameters (voices, demographics, issues to highlight, organizational or event goals, and/or messaging), she tailors her performance to the audience, themes, and objectives of the event. She can also represent an organization’s different customer profiles or the different nationalities present at a multicultural event. Sarah Jones offers a unique way to have a good time while talking about and celebrating the issues important to her audience.
