There Must Be Happy Endings is available now!

“A poignant, intimate, stunningly honest book, both method and memoir… that reveals how a thoughtful, socially committed life arrives at thoughtful, socially committed art.” — Jill Dolan, author of Utopia in Performance: Finding Hope at the Theatre, Princeton University
"There Must Be Happy Endings is a personal odyssey through the American theater landscape. Megan Sandberg-Zakian eloquently and generously shares her experiences, her insights and associations, weaving together perspectives on artistic process with performance theory, history with aesthetics, philosophical and ethical conundrums with lived experience." — Anne Bogart
“A rare voice of embodied multiplicity, Megan Sandberg-Zakian transfigures happy endings to honest endings, even beginnings, that bring us into contact with the creative chaos of “live” life.” – Ruth King, author of Mindful of Race: Transforming Racism From the Inside Out
“I recommend this book to anyone who is writing, directing, acting or just plain living in our 'chaotic and unjust world’.” — Eric Bogosian
