Sarah Shear
Theatre Maker
Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm a theatre maker interested in new works and radical kindness. I've worked all over the world as a performer, playwright, producer, director, and educator. And now I'm in London pursing my MFA in Advanced Theatre Practice at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. So yeah, sometimes it's just easier to say theatre maker.
I got my start in musical theatre, so I understand the benefits of throwing glitter at the audience. But I also think that if we're going to throw glitter, the audience should never look at glitter the same way again, you know? Did I mention I love glitter?
Wherever I go, I take my compassion and creativity with me. I've always had the desire to be a part of a community that changed the world, and theatre is my tool of choice.
When I'm not on a stage or behind the table, you can find me watching Doctor Who or eating vegan chocolate.
