Sequoia Sellinger & Sarah Rossman

Sequoia Sellinger

Sarah Rossman

Sequoia Sellinger and Sarah Rossman are developing Next Year in Connecticut!, a musical love letter to dysfunctional families that explores how mental illness hijacks family systems, transforming relationships, and redefining normalcy. NYIC! features forbidden romance, Brisketgate, a dog shiva, an Exodus tap dance number, and hey, this might be the year that Elijah (the prophet) shows up! During their residency at Catwalk, they are excited to refine their use of the ensemble in both the text and the music to reflect the push and pull characters feel between individual identity and group identity.
