SALLY HORCHOW is a two-time Tony Award-nominated Broadway Producer, published author, and entrepreneurial storyteller who has spent her life bringing people together IRL and creating connections through live, shared experiences—both on stage and off.

 

In 2010, Sally formed SHIP | Sally Horchow International Productions, with the mission of producing high-quality live entertainment. She has since produced and invested in some of the most successful plays and musicals on Broadway/West End. Most recently, she lead produced the 2023-24 revival of the Tony Award-winning Gershwin musical comedy CRAZY FOR YOU, in London’s West End, and before that, the critically acclaimed, genre-busting true-story thrillers, IS THIS A ROOM & DANA H., which were among the first plays to re-open Broadway following the Pandemic in the fall of 2021 and garnered two 2022 Tony Awards. Her current project, SAM KISSAJUKIAN: 300 PAINTINGS, just completed its second sold-out run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and launches its U.S. Tour on Oct. 1 at A.R.T. in Cambridge, MA.

 

Sally co-hosted This is Reality: The Reality Winner Podcast, which launched during the Broadway run of IS THIS A ROOM initially to keep audiences informed about the play’s complicated protagonist, but gained steam, popularity and thousands of downloads for months afterwards, and was recognized by Apple Podcasts as “New & Noteworthy.”

 

Sally’s passion for Producing was nurtured as an undergraduate at Yale University, where she also completed graduate-level coursework in Theater Management at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale (where she currently sits on the Advisory Board.) 

 

Sally began her professional career at Broadway’s Jujamcyn Theaters and quickly rose through the ranks, expanding her reach beyond theater– and helping launch several of the most iconic ventures in media, art/design and entertainment of the last quarter century.  She was on the Executive Producer’s team at the inception of NBC’s Late Night with Conan O’Brien – developing and implementing many of the systems used for the entire life of the series.  She handled PR for Los Angeles’ Getty Museum at its opening.  She was integral to the beginnings of Daily Candy, the seminal, game-changing digital disruptor in the fashion and beauty industry.  And she served as Executive Assistant to Steven Spielberg at the birth of Dreamworks SKG, Dreamworks Television, Dreamworks Animation, and The Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation.

 

As her career grew, Sally also worked as a freelance journalist (e.g. The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Town & Country), an on-air lifestyle correspondent (e.g. NBC’s Today Show, The Tyra Banks Show, CBS’s The Talk) and co-author (with her father, Roger Horchow) of The Art of Friendship: 70 Simple Rules for Making Meaningful Connections, with a foreword by Malcolm Gladwell (St. Martin’s Press, 2006.) Sally herself has often been profiled in articles about her many creative ways of bringing people together and entertaining: she leads a much-loved Los Angeles Cooking Club, has hosted art installations, planned Hollywood movie premieres, and created “Hiving: Party With a Purpose,” whose mission was to connect people and raise money for charities through interactive experiences throughout Los Angeles.

 

In addition to Yale Drama, Sally sits on the Boards of the Vineyard Theatre in NYC, Nourish Nantucket, and the Nantucket Performing Arts Center (NPAC). She is an alum of the Commercial Theater Institute and is an active member of the Broadway League. Sally was born and raised in Dallas, TX and currently splits her time between New York, Los Angeles, and Nantucket with her partner, John Seitz, and their dog, Mary Tyler Moore.
