The Saunders Collective

The Saunders Collective is a family-based ensemble of performers, educators, creators, and producers led by members Alanna, Claire, Heath, Trent, and Kim Saunders, with roots in classical music, musical theatre, and collaborative performance. Raised in a household centered on music-making, the Saunders family developed a shared artistic practice through years of collective training, performance, and composition. From this foundation they’ve built an artist-first production company and creative consultancy to serve the next generation of theater-making. Based in New York and Seattle, The Saunders Collective creates original theatrical works and performance experiences that blend music, storytelling, and ensemble collaboration. Their projects include the award-winning musical Newton’s Cradle: A Ghost Story, their cabaret-drama Family Dinner, and a range of concert-style and theatrical productions.
