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.
