“There is so much cruelty in how we receive the work that is done. And I just think the worst thing that could happen is that people stop making art. It’s so important to make art and reviews are like [bleep],” Sara said in an Instagram video. “Who cares. Like truly honestly who cares. They just don’t carry the power they used to. I know it feels like garbage when it happens, I literally know that from the inside. But I love this community so much. I love the theater community, I love the music community. I love that people make things. I love that we are trying to put beauty in the world. I would always rather be on that team so I celebrate all of these openings.”

She added, “I just want to celebrate all of the artists out there who stand in the fire and unzip their souls and let people look at them and tell them what should look different or be changed… and f–k them. F–k them. Make the world better by being who you are and literally f–k them.”
