[6] Early in Sayet's directing and writing career, she remade the Shakespeare classic "The Tempest" by incorporating Mohegan language and culture.
[1] While at NYU, Sayet launched The Mad and Merry Theatre Company, which completed three successful seasons of programming dedicated to reimagining classic stories before disbanding.
During this time Sayet wrote "Daughters of Leda," a play that chronicles the stories of well-known mythological characters such as: Leda and The Swan, Adam and Eve, Helen, Clytemnestra, Iphigenia, and Electra from the female perspective, which was produced as part of the Women Center Stage Festival, the Dream Up Festival, and Dixon Place's Works-In-Progress.
[7] She is the recipient of the White House Champion of Change Award for Native America for her work as a director, writer, performer and educator.
[9] Sayet also directed "Sliver of a Full Moon" by Mary Kathryn Nagle, which is a play about the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) that pays tribute to the re-authorization that occurred in 2013.
[13] "Where We Belong" was then produced as a film adaptation by Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, in association with the Folger Shakespeare Library in 2021, followed by a national tour of the production, directed by Mei Ann Teo.
