An earlier project involved creating a narrative collage sketchbook from her late father’s sketches for the Brooklyn Art Library’s Sketchbook Project, titled “There’s Always Time to Sketch” by Robert J. “Jack” Lambert and Sarah Lambert. While both the Sketchbook Project’s physical and digital library were unfortunately discontinued, a digital version still exists here: sketchbook
In 2024, Sarah adapted and directed a staged reading – Scenes from “The HOT L Baltimore” by Lanford Wilson, at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Port Jervis as a benefit for the Tri-State Interfaith Council Warming Station and the Tri-States Railway Preservation Society. Here is a link to the live recording of the staging Hot L Video
Previously, in 2019, she had contributed dramaturgically to a staged reading of The Laramie Project, also at St. Peter’s, which was directed by Patty Baughman.
