Running December 7 - 21, 2023, matinee and evening performances available

Celebrate the season of giving.

Brimming with music and dance, love and laughter, and spectacular special effects, it’s no wonder the critics have called it “THE Christmas Carol to see in the Bay Area.” Join the thousands who make this theatrical event a part of their annual holiday traditions.

I’m playing one of the solicitors Mrs. Boxer who try to convince Mr. Scrooge to donate money to help the poor! Spoiler Alert: He’s a changed man by Act II and he is quite generous in the end!

I also play the character Nancy in the Fred Party. Such fun!

Welcome jane!

I’m enjoying my newest role as “Mama” to Jane.

I’m singing LOTS of songs, including:

• Wheels on the Bus

• Whistle Down the Wind

• Hushabye Mountain

And more!

This is a daily concert with different songs and lyrics.

Lyrics are likely to change around 3am.

Improv at The Groundlings

I’ve had such a wonderful time studying at The Groundlings these last few months doing the first two sections of the Core Track. Brian Palermo and Guy Stevenson are fabulous teachers and we are so lucky to have them! Looking forward to working with you both in person someday!

Our final class features a performance of 5 characters we’ve worked up through the term. Can’t wait to take the advanced class in person in LA. Now to get a contract in LA… :)

World Premier

Llama Llama Live!

It's been a big first day of school, and Llama's happy to be home and wearing his favorite red pajamas. After his bedtime story, Mama Llama tucks him in and pops downstairs. Llama’s toys try to help him relax, but he’s too wiggly. He needs a drink of water. But where did Mama Llama go? Why isn't she coming? Our original, world-premiere musical will have everyone doing the Bedtime Dance!

I play Mama Llama, the incredibly relatable single Mom, as she tries to get Llama to go to bed. Parents will be cackling with this heartwarming and ACCURATE show about the challenges and joys of bedtime with a four year old.

We’ll be in the Bay Area this Summer and then bring it to kids across North America in January 2020!!!

World Premier

Gold: The Midas Musical

Motherless Princess Lydia yearns for her father's love, but King Midas grows meaner, more distant, and greedier by the day. A modern musical re-telling of the Greek legend of King Midas who learns a valuable lesson about family when the gods grant him the power to turn everything into gold.

I play Hestia, the goddess of home and hearth, who narrates the show and guides King Midas toward a path of redemption, reconciliation, and healing. You won’t want to miss this beautiful show at Bay Area Children’s Theatre in Berkeley, California. Min Kahng’s score is soaring and, with Bob Shryock’s direction, there is MAGIC happening on this stage. We run through May 12th. See you in Ancient Greece!

Cast Album Recording

in Santa Cruz

Today was such a wonderful day! We recorded the cast album for “David Copperfield, The New Musical!” It was so fun seeing everyone post-show closing and post-Christmas. Everyone looked much more rested and sounded even more glorious! Can’t wait to hear it!!! More details to come. 

WORLD PREMIER

David Copperfield

Adapted from Charles Dickens’ favorite and most autobiographical novel, “David Copperfield, The New Musical” follows David’s life. As a child, David endures the sadism of his stepfather Murdstone, the depredations of the villainous schoolmaster Creakle, and the mind-numbing routine of the London sweatshop to which he is consigned after the death of his mother. As an adult, he is visited by happiness and success, tragedy and loss. Along the way, he meets some of Dickens’ most memorable characters: his formidable Aunt Betsey, the seafaring Peggotty family, the monosyllabic coachman Barkis, the grandiloquent Mr. Micawber and the contemptible Uriah Heep.

I’m playing a lead in this beautiful show, Peggotty, David’s pseudo-Mom and advocate. Jeffrey Scharf is a wonderful collaborator and his score is soaring. I love this role and I really hope you’ll have a chance to come see it! 2 world premieres of new musicals in a row = 1 VERY happy, creatively satisfied Sheila. (Also thank you OCU’s Dr. Heine for all the sight reading skills!)

Workshop of New Musical:

Gold: The Midas Musical

GOLD: The Midas Musical follows the story of King Midas who, after the death of his wife, hardens his heart and turns to greed for solace. When Dionysus, the god of having a good time, offers him the power of the Golden Touch, Midas can't refuse. Only his daughter Lydia believes that the King can return to the man he used to be, and she'll do everything in her power to get her father back. Using contemporary pop and musical theatre styles, this energized and expanded re-telling of the Greek myth invites parents and children to remember that nothing can replace the value of your family.

I’m playing the role of Hestia, goddess of home and hearth. I am convinced that Min Kahng, the writer of the book, music, & lyrics, is the next Jason Robert Brown or Adam Guettel. This show is beautifully written and I am humbled and thrilled to be breathing life into such a rich, fantastic role! We’ll be performing a concert version of the show this Friday October 19th at 11am at Bay Area Children’s Theatre’s new space in Oakland. This Friday is only for industry professionals to provide feedback and make this awesome show, even better. We start rehearsals in January and I am so excited. More information to come!

Disney's 

Beauty and the beast

The classic story tells of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped under the spell of an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end and he will be transformed into his former self. 

I'm thrilled to be playing Madame de la Grande Bouche, the over the top opera singer turned enchanted wardrobe. Throw your kids in the car and head on up to historic Columbia in the Sierra Nevada Foothills because Disney's Beauty and the Beast runs through July 29th, 2018.

Broadway Baby

Come join me for another evening of solo show fun! I'm talking about fake funeral planning, beautiful rejection emails, and ovo-retirement. It'll be lots of fun and I've incorporated music and singing! Hope you can join us February 23rd, 2018 in Oakland.

Also featuring: Adriana Echandi, Amy Mansfield-Weinberg, and MORE!

Sister Act

When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.

I'm playing Sister Mary Patrick, one of nuns at the convent. She is consistently perky, enthusiastic, and easily excitable (so basically type casting.) We run through October 22nd, 2017.
