"NowNowNow," premiered at On the Boards directed by David Bennett. It explored the blurring of reality. The human impulse to play and pretend meets our modern world where our social lives have become media and scripted realties bring a strange comfort.
Crafting our social personas for mass consumption, where any post can be seen by one person or millions, what do we create? How do we change our voices to fit the mediums of our time?
As an actor who was trained in pretending and play, for Rudinoff, these themes and questions have been ever present. Truth is formed by agreement and consensus. How do we go deeper with ourselves and others in this modern world and what paths do we go down trying to find something real to hang on to.

Reviews
“Her language, the sharpness and speed of her thought, her comedic timing, the strength of her one-liners, and her absurd pantomiming are all the evidence you need that Rudinoff's brilliance should be tweeted and retweeted unto eternity.”
Rich Smith, The Stranger
“You can never tell which roles are made for Sarah Rudinoff because they all seem that way. Like many great performers, Rudinoff blends professional craft and personal charm in equal measure. But unlike many great performers, the breadth of roles Rudinoff chooses or creates seems limitless.”
Gemma Wilson, City Arts Magazine
“Powerhouse. That’s the best way to describe Seattle performer Sarah Rudinoff. Her new solo show is a rumination on what it means to be a three dimensional person in the era of two dimensional media.”
Marcie Sillman, KUOW, NPR
