I’m Sharron Matthews, a performer, writer and producer with 35 years in the entertainment industry. I blend acting, singing, cabaret, scriptwriting and creative direction to build intimate shows and large-scale collaborations across stage, screen and symphony.
Over the years I’ve created and performed a wide range of works—from TV roles and feature film appearances to symphonic scripts and award-winning cabaret. I love developing new projects, mentoring rising artists, and bringing bold, original voices to life for diverse audiences.
