Sharry and I met and worked together for the first time as company members in the Summer Festival of Arts in Montreal, 1969. I directed Sharry on productions of The Fantasticks, America Hurrah, and Oh, What a Lovely War! The festival was fertile ground for many of us as we did our best to start professional careers.
Sharry takes us through her training in London, her return to Canada, where she performed in a variety of musical and dramatic productions. The work took her to the Charlottetown Festival, Stratford and the Shaw Festival, where she is a longtime member of the Company. In our conversation, Sharry explains how being at the Shaw Festival and living in Niagara-on-the-Lake has contributed to a healthy and supportive family life.
