Sequoia is a collaborative composer in musical theatre, opera, and dance based in NYC. She blends bold, unapologetic feminist themes with sharp, witty musical numbers to challenge and explore the societal structures that shape our world. She is constantly driven to create work that challenges, uplifts, and makes people laugh. After all, if we can laugh at something, we might just be able to see it for what it really is.

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 is a composer alum of 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.
