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.
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.
