Sarah Jones Biography

Sarah, who attended Bryn Mawr College and the United Nations International School for her education, recently paid homage to her UN School roots by joining the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador program, speaking out against child abuse while traveling, and giving performances in Japan, Ethiopia, Indonesia, the Middle East, and other countries. Sarah, who won the 2007 Brendan Gill Prize, has also received commissions and grants from The Ford Foundation, NYSCA, and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, among others, as well as accolades in the theatre, such as an Obie Award, a Helen Hayes Award, two Drama Desk nominations, and the Best One-Person Show Award from the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival. Sarah was also given the NYCLU Calloway Award for being the first artist to sue the Federal Communications Commission for Censorship. The censoring decision that had been made about her hip-hop poem recording "Your Revolution" was overturned as a consequence of the case. In addition, Sarah has made numerous TV appearances on shows like Charlie Rose, The Today Show, CBS Sunday Morning, Live with Regis and Kelly, Now on PBS, and Sesame Street as "Ms. Noodle" on Elmo's World. In addition, she is frequently an uncensored guest on public radio shows like Fresh Air and Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen.
