<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sharon was without an agent for many many years, but was booking shows in theatres throughout Los Angeles. As she continued to watch the beautiful work others were doing in the theatre and in Film/TV, she knew she needed to find reps to make this happen even more.

You use your voice, and your body, and all that you are, to tell stories that remind US what it is to be human.
