Sarah Kosar

Sarah Kosar's dream was to become a Butler High School distinguished graduate.

“I remember walking down the halls and seeing mostly men,” said Kosar, 31, about pictures of different figures hanging on walls.

The Butler native and playwright set out to become a positive role model for women — a goal she said she feels she has achieved.

Kosar's play “Mumburger” makes its American debut at the Carnegie Stage near Pittsburgh on Friday and runs through March 16.

The 2006 Butler High School alum has lived in London since 2009 and is the head of talent at the music-tech startup, ROLI in the Dalston area of London. She is also the producer and host of the iTunes podcast Kin.

“It's pretty neat to come back to a place I dreamed of so much as a child ... to share my play with all people from my childhood is pretty wild,” she said.
