Sean Barnett makes earnest, playful theater & film, centering joy and embracing radical sincerity. An energetic, geeky fanboy at heart, he is fascinated by how the radically silly, absurd, and heartfelt often reveal our most honest humanity.

Drawn to comedies, musicals, and new works, his art strives to challenge often-cynical postmodernism, celebrate human connection, and leave audiences energized with a little more hope for a better tomorrow (Yes, that is indeed a Superman quote).

Upcoming Projects:

• Assistant Director & Script Supervisor for ATLANTIC @ CMU Center for New Work’s Impulse Festival (May 2-3, 2026)

• Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama’s Showcase & Creators’ Expo (May 2-6 in LA; May 20-24 in NYC)
