About
Sharon has 30 years experience working professionally on stage and screen. Based in Surrey, she’s also well versed as a singing, music, and acting coach.
On stage
Her stage appearances have seen her sing, dance, act and play music in productions of the operetta Candide, the notable Broadway musical Pal Joey, and the bombastic Guys and Dolls. On tour her favourite roles were Nonna and Leonora in Anthony Mingella’s “A Little Like Drowning”, and Miss Haversham in Unicorn’s Time out award-winning Great Expectations.
Sharon is also no stranger to the bright lights of London’s West End, where she took to the stage with her saxophone as Delores in Some Like it Hot with Tommy Steele.
Sharon has also performed in Regents Park Open Air Theatre as both the formidable Queen of Hearts and the March Hare in Alice, as well as Morgana Le Fay in Arthur.
On screen
Delve into tv history and you’ll see her alongside Patricia Routlidge in Keeping up Appearances, and also taking a starring role in The Bill—where in one episode she dived out of an exploding caravan!
On the big screen you’ll find her dancing dressed head to toe in elaborate costumes, alongside David Bowie in Jim Henson’s Labyrinth.
Singing
Sharon is a highly experienced singer—both on stage and in the studio.
Most recently she’s performed jazz at Epsom Playhouse and Bracknell’s Southill Park, with more performances planned in Epsom. She has recorded original songs by Ken MacIntyre, which made it to the final of the National Song Writers Competition, and recently a song written by Chris White, in the infamous group The Zoombies from the 60’s.
She writes her own songs and music, and encourages others to do so too!
Teaching
Sharon has been teaching alongside her professional engagements for many years.
She has taught professionals to dance and act at the Hertfordshire Theatre School, and often helps professionals with songs for auditions in private classes.
From 2003, she has worked with children aged 5-17 at Stagecoach Theatre Arts in New Malden Cleaves. She currently teaches at private schools including Felton Fleet and Hoe Bridge School, particularly focusing on preparing students for LAMDA acting, devising and presenting exams.
Corporate work has also come to her, teaching awareness of body language and interview techniques. Sharon has also been part of the Actors Institute presentation course for corporate training, filming presentations for feedback.
“I’m delighted to be lucky enough to work in the artistic fields.
My career has taken me to lots of places, but it now gives me the most pleasure to give people the confidence to perform themselves—and most importantly help them enjoy it!”
