Hello! I'm Sydney, a Manhattan-based, Michigan-bred performer/director/writer. I am a huge word nerd, an total travel junkie, and a #NiceJewishGirl with a sense of humor to match - but above all, I am an artist who finds my joy in building brand new worlds on stage with the creative colleagues and friends I have met along the way. You can often find me crossing genre lines and state lines in pursuit of the opportunity to tell a good story, with recent and upcoming projects dipping into the realms of opera, theatre, jazz, audio drama podcasting, improv and sketch comedy, soundpainting, devising, and cantorial work, from coast to coast and across international borders. I love the really old and the really new, and relish the ability to explore a playwright's words for the first time or discover modern meaning in text written centuries ago.  

I believe in the magic of live performance, an all-too-rare opportunity to shut out the distractions of our modern world and collectively feel human together. I also believe in an equitable performing industry where artists lift each other up, enabling everyone to create boldly in rooms where the final product is a true melding of minds. If this sounds like you, let's work together! I can't wait to hear your story. 

This website is a small snapshot of what I've been up to recently. For more information, extended clips, and project inquiries, please reach out using the contact form below, or email me at sydneyroslin@hotmail.com.

"...the gripping musical performances came in service of an equally fine directorial conception by Sydney Roslin... Roslin’s astute treatment of the libretto illuminates, rather than invents, latent numerous emotional sub-themes."
