Sequoia Sellinger

Sequoia Sellinger is a composer, educator, and collaborative theater artist based in New York City. She aims to create work that is accessible, relatable, funny, and reimagines the possibilities of what the world could be. She challenges traditional storytelling expectations by writing through a feminist and anti-racist lens. Her work in community-building echoes in her work as an artist and educator because she believes collaboration is practice for living and allows us to create the world we want to live in (and sing in) together.

Sequoia’s work has been performed at Ars Nova, Symphony Space, Joe’s Pub, 54 Below, Green Room 42, College of the Atlantic, Dartmouth, The York Theatre, Musical Theatre Factory, MacDowell Arts Colony, and American Opera Projects. She is in the 2025 Prospect Musical Theater Lab Cohort. She was a composer in the BMI Lehman Engel Musical Theatre Workshop as well as the New Dramatists Composer-Librettist Studio. She is on the classical composition faculty at Purchase College Conservatory of Music. She received her MFA in Graduate Musical Theatre Writing at NYU Tisch (Max Dreyfus ASCAP Scholarship). She is a proud member of both the Dramatists Guild and Maestra. Follow her work at: www.sequoiasellinger.com
